lunch @ Fusion Cafe

• pho combo
• chicken skewer
• goi cuon (summer roll)

dinner w/ Maria, Francesc & Ilona (Tapas Night!)

• antipasto platters (chorizo , salami, roasted red peppers, home-grilled crostinis, prosciutto, drunken goat cheese, blue cheese, emmentaler, soppresseta)
• poached shrimp
• brussel sprouts w/ hog jowl bacon
• sauteed sugar snap peas (fresh from Elmwood, sweet!)
• fried alligator w/ remoulade (too tough for frying, it waylaid me as I was searching for tilapia)
• baked brie w/ rum sauce (melted its shape away but SO good. Cheese, liquor & sugar? Can’t lose)
• sauteed mushrooms (crimini, ceps/porcinis, lobster)
• spiced pecans (too heavy on the salt but addictive)
• salad (a touch of honey gave the basic lemon juice/olive oil dressing new life. Lettuces from Elmwood)
