roasted garlic cloves, thickly-sliced rustic bread saturated with olive oil, provençal tomatoes and goat cheese coated with nuts and lightly fried. forget about food porn; i just had food caligula.there are a lot of memorable firsts in my life; first kiss, first car, first forged doctor's note, first time i got arrested, but none of that holds a candle to the thrill of my first bite of this.
if it were possible to do sexytimes with a perfect 10 while simultaneously winning the lottery, that might come close to how happy i was eating this. i forget what it was called, "something chevre noix grillé tomates blah blah," but it was so good that my friend and i didn't bother with that "oh no, please, YOU have the last piece" bullshit. we bisected the bread, scraped off the garlic cloves, counted and divided them by two, split the remaining tomato and cheese in half and then retreated with our spoils to our respective corners. think gollum with his ring, that's how insanely into this shit we were.
i will not have a wedding cake, i will have a wedding chevre noix grillé tomates thing. of course, with my luck, my guests will be wheat and gluten allergic, tomatoes will be out of season and i'll have developed lactose intolerance and a nut allergy, but you get the point.
seriously, nasa's lucky i'm not an astronaut; i'd make them figure out how to freeze dry this.
anyway, this was a phenomenal meal and i'm sorry it's over. i'm going to step outside for a post-coital cigarette now.
me, getting all chupacabra and crazy-eyed as the food arrived.

it has been a long time since i read the blog so I read all the way back to september, laughing out loud much of the time. I reread the indian restaurant blog twice, especially enjoying the creatively numbered items and the oil slick and and cardamom events that are universal. i always want to know whose kitchen you are eating from, sometimes you say, others not so.-mm
i second the comment of "i always want to know whose kitchen you are eating from"
WHERE IS THIS FROM? I DEMAND TO KNOW. AND THAT YOU TAKE ME WHEN I'M HOME!!!!!!
