The dinners I posted both today and yesterday are me making dinner from scratch using the kitchenette in my suite at the Homewood Suites (there's a Costco and Whole Foods nearby so its pretty easy), its why its one of my favorite Hilton brands. I remember two years ago I did a dinner of seared Prime Filet Mignons (which I had picked up at Costco) with a Vermouth Balsamic pan sauce after a smoked salmon appetizer with cream cheese, dill, shallots and white truffle oil, and one of my friends kept repeating as she was eating the Filet, "You got this at Costco? This is fantastic" I admit, I am a bit weird in this way, I have gotten really into if I am not at home at figuring out how to enjoy myself as much. In this situation, my A/C is out so I (and Pip) am "roughing it" at the Homewood. You can spend so much money eating out and it not being that good.
