No pics yet...but they are coming soon. Last night, for a belated birthday gift to her wonderful son, Ruth sent us out to dinner in Santa Fe while watching over wee Mr. Jack. LOTS to choose from, but Jeff decided Italian. We went to Il Piatto ("The Plate") www.ilpiattosantafe.com
Yumbolicious.
Jeff started with the special chicken and cabbage soup, which was perfect for the raux night we had in SF last night. I had the Parmigiano Potato Gnocchi with wild mushrooms and marsala cream. We both had duck for our second plate; Jeff had duck with pappadelle in a red wine marscapone cream sauce and I had duck breast over a root vegetable mash. Jeff had tiramisu for dessert and I had bread pudding. Jeff liked his tiramisu. I was over the moon about my bread pudding. The top half was bread soaked in liquor but the bottom half was pure egg custard; served in a big bowl of freshly made caramel sauce. Our trainer Shaun is shaking his head right now.
The highlight of the meal was the Super Tuscan. And here we thought all wines from Tuscany were super. Not so. The Italians, in order to compete with the Bordeaux created a new category of wines; the Super Tuscans. Wow, wow, wow. We had the 2004 Maremma Toscana - Dromos. Let's just say we will be searching for more on the Internets....
Pictures soon.
