Just a quick update about my end of year eating:
Singapore Banana Leaf's Rendang Chicken was just ok

it's far superior to Ford's Filling Station

which was bland and overpriced with bad service. The meat loaf burger was bland and didn't sit well on the bun.


CJ's Cafe, however, was terrific. Very good french toast. Fast service, inexpensive

and the chilaquiles with hot sauce were a great workout for an iron stomach.

Christmas Eve dinner, made by the same chef as Thanksgiving dinner, was phenomenal.

cheese plate: manchego, st. andre, french blue, domestic goat, grapes

meat plate: spicy salami, homemade chicken liver pate, cornichons, olives

drinks: pomegranite margaritas and apple brandy hot toddies
homemade pico de gallo salsa
homemade hummus

pasta with a sauce of garlic and red pepper crushed with anchovy and shredded spinach
oysters

dessert: strawberry/ raspberry rugelach and coffee shortbread

Last but not least we tried some hot chips by Kettle. Stay tuned for a new food music post: the Hot Chip/s battle...
