Spinach salad with chopped avocado and home-grown tomatoes from a friend. Also grilled asparagus and a side of air fried buffalo wings.

Chicken biryani.

Tasting menu at Coastal Kitchen in Monterey this past weekend. Fantastic fine dining with some exceptional wine pairings.

Is that pick an entree from the list and pick a starter? Third & fourth both sound like entrees. Actually so does 2nd but I guess a fish course is different.

They served every item on the menu. The portion sizes seemed appropriate for most people to get through the entire menu and the service lasted about 2 1/2 hours. The items with the first course were all bite sized, and the rest were much smaller than a stand alone entree. I was full when finished but not uncomfortably so.

I do not eat ice cream but this is what my oldest son and his wife are eating right now.

Personally, except for the sour cherry pie, I'd go with my earlier post and cotton candy ice cream.

From Pompous Ponce Ice Cream Parlour?

They also have dairy free if that is your issue with ice cream. And pup cups for 4 legged connoisseurs.

Made some tamago sliders on brioche slider buns (from Costco). Would have done pork or beef or chicken sliders but I've kinda wiped out all the ground meat in the house. Next attempt... luncheon meat (SPAM!) and egg sliders on the same buns.'

Buffets are alive and well in Denmark:

Wait - I thought I had a slice of pizza too...

I don’t want the sugar or the lactose. Mostly it’s the sugar since there are lots of wonderful dairy and lactose free ice creams available.

Tilapia with scallion sriracha pesto. Yum.
