leapfish to 20 King for his birthday, and it was yummy. Our menu:
- Half a litre of Pinot Grigio, Santi, Sortelese, Alto Adige, Italy, 2002, very yummy
- free pork skewers that were hot off the grill and very peppery
- ‘20 King’s Caesar Salad’ Warm Double Smoke Bacon, Parmesan Cheese and Croutons
- Grilled Black Peppered Calamari With Wilted Frisée
- too much fresh bread
- Saffron Linguine with Lobster, Asparagus and Shell Peas In a Tarragon Lobster Broth
- Lime Crusted Ahi Tuna on Shiitake Ravioli, Lemon and Cilantro Vinaigrette
- Lavender-scented Crème Brulée
- Chocolate Nemesis Cake with home-made peanut butter ice cream
I think it was "use up the pepper" night. While I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of everything, almost everything was strongly peppered. Unusual. Also, my lobsters were pretty small (though large for Ontario, I suppose) and polka-dotted. Can anyone explain that? The chocolate nemesis cake proved to be stronger than I, as I could not finish it. Think the chocolate cake at Jane's. Mmmm.
I am now SO fat.
