Very true. The PT Reyes was made into dressing but still worked perfectly with the salty, porky, crispy bacon. And sweet dates. I think it would be good to make with goat cheese too.

Mr. Gfunk got the chicken Francese, which is what he always gets, and I got the spaghetti gamboretta, which was spinach spaghetti with shrimp and scallops in a garlic butter. Mine was kind of bland and disappointing. Chicken Francese is always delicious. I might just start getting that every time too.
But it's ok because I had 2/3 of a bottle of white Burgundy with it.
Sounds like the pasta could have used some red chili flakes or lemon juice.
