Dinner at one of my favorite local places here in Durham, NC, an Afghani restaurant called Bread and Kabob. I had two kabobs (one chicken, one lamb) with rice, salad, bread and cucumber and hot sauce. I just wish the restaurant had a liquor license because this would have gone so well with beer.

Went back today (can't get enough!) and this time had a lamb kabob and a beef kabob. The beef > the chicken so I think I'll make this my new go to order.

I'm not complaining, but I'm snowed in here ..... and I would have really appreciated a picture of these lovely kebabs and the bread! Next time?

Location Deepest Kent, UK (no snow yet :())
Meal Supper


Home made pizza (25% wholemeal, 50% strong white, 25% semolina), home made tomato/basil (with half a garlic clove and a dash of Unami!!!) sauce. Mozzarella/Cheddar mix, drizzle of light olive oil. Toppings to taste. Me: Italian Salami w/Fennel (Waitrose's finest), dried chopped chilli seeds, blanched Spinach. MsAdey: Anchovies, goats cheese (not sure of variety), blanched Spinach.

Washed down with... me: the last few bottles of Bud Lite (my importer is temp. out of stock :mad:). MsAdey: A very nice Chianti from Castellare.

Adey

[aside:After sampling a few varieties of this wine producer on holiday in Italy (all the labels have one bird or another illustrated on them), we managed to track down the vineyard. As we had driven to Italy, we were able to load up the car with a mixed case. All very nice, we picked a selection ranging from ~20Euro/bottle (this one) to over 60 Euro/bottle - we've laid those for a while).

will try and add image of the wine label

The wife and I had drinks and tapas at a new restaurant in Halifax, NS called Tempo.

Between us we split three tapas plates consisting of:

Mini TEMPOra box (cauliflower, broccoli, beans, sweet potatoes, zucchini, spicy, sweet, lime)
Pork belly fritter (with bacon jam, smoked pineapple & basil chutney)
Fried Dough (sausage, pancetta, smoked mozzarella, smoked tomato sauce, olives)

Verdict was that all three were very mediocre.

Tomorrow is going to be a steak cookout with my Dad!

Crappy microwaved lunch food. However! A good friend of mine from London sent me a care package of candy so I had a lunch dessert of a Crunchie bar, one of my favorites and hard to find in the United States.

Location: Croxley's Ale House, East Village NYC
Meal: snack and beer

10 cent wings at Croxley's Ale House with a former roommate. It was our thing. If one of use had a bad day at work or on a date we'd come home, yell chicken wing and head out to blow off some steam. Now we just do it for fun or if either of us needs to blow off some steam.

10 spicy bbq wings and 4 pints of various beers. They have about 20+ on tap and another 100+ on bottle.

Chipotle for dinner tonight, always a treat, though I probably should not have tried to eat it while at red lights during my ride home :o

Popped over to France this morning and picked up a kilo of fresh scallops and pan fried them in butter using this recipe.

Oh man, what a meal, paired with a nice Riesling. Good as any I've had in a restaurant
