Wed 03/04/09 (Day 32) - Hump Day

---

Nothing special to report today. Work was work and I stayed in last night, eating at the hotel. Bubbles talked me into staying as they have changed their menu. So I figured I'd try some of the new stuff.

I started with a very lightly grilled scallop dish, served with lobster, greens and a balsamic reduction. It was delectable; the scallops were done perfectly. For my main I had pork tenderloins wrapped in parma ham. These were served with baked vegetables in a spicy garlic sauce and french fries. I enjoyed it, although I'd have prefered my veggies less cooked. I can't say they were overcooked, just more than is to my taste. The sauce had the spice of raw garlic. It was very good, but different from what I was expecting. I paired a Chilean Carmenere with the main, and it had the perfect bite to go with my pork dish. I was surprised since in the past I haven't cared for Carmenere. For dessert I had the chocolate fondat and paired it with a French Cabernet Sauvignon.

Not bad for a lazy night.
