December 15, 2012 Vinaigrette Restaurant
A slow day
The
biggest effort went into shopping for beef for Sunday Night’s dinner. We bought salmon for gravad lax for Christmas
Eve and also some rib steaks and scallops on sale at Albertson’s at the corner
of Coors and Central. Fresh Atlantic
salmon was $5.99/lb., large scallops were $9.99/lb. and the bone in rib steaks
were $6.48/lb. We bought two six pound chunks; one for a standing rib roast for
Sunday evening and had the butcher cut the other chunk into five ¾ inch thick steaks.
We also bought fresh dill weed for the gravad lax.
At 7:00 p.m. we went to Vinaigrette to meet Debbie and Jeff
for dinner. We all ordered salads and
avoided the temptation of dessert. We
shared an order of fried cheese balls of local goat cheese, which were nice but
not great. What was great was the warm
freshly baked bread served with the cheese balls and the dinner salads. Each table had its own bottle of olive
oil. Everyone dipped one or two slices
of bread. Again, everyone, except me, ordered
Marble Brewery beer, although I tried and liked the brown porter, but it was
too heavy for me to drink an entire glass of at one sitting. Near the end of the meal, two young women were seated next to us who ordered a bottle of Spanish white Albarino that looked great. Perhaps we will try it next time.
Then home to bed.
Bon Appètit
