I have not posted for a full four years but now I'm going to start posting more since so many many more restaurants have been opening!

Anchor Fish and Chips

Anchor Fish and Chips is sooo great. But do not get the burger or you will miss the other great things.That is a mistake I made.Luckily there was a lot of fish and chips! 

Greek Feast

I can't think of a better lunch than a table full of Greek food.
Here I am with a smile on my face, thanks to my friend Anna.

We are eating:
a combo plate with beet, tyro, and fava
Grape leaves
Gyro with tomatoes and tzatziki
Greek Fries (with vinegar )
black eye pea soup
a small plate of Nettles!

What you can't see here is that my Pop and brother are at the table (I didn't eat all this myself)
Also you can't see the dessert which I helped invent.

AZIA Junior Gourmet Club

I went to AZIA for dinner with my mom. First we were in the Caterpillar Lounge. Appetizers were cranberry puffs--pretty good, but a little bit too spicy. Pork potstickers were my favorite of the appetizers. I didn't really care for the Malaysian skewers. I really liked the kid cocktail. It tasted like it had rhubarb in it. I got two little swords which were pink and red that my mom put in her purse for me to take home.

Course 1: miso soup broth was very interesting, edamame were pretty good, but I think I liked the seaweed salad better.

They brought me a blackberry mango drink. It was pretty amazing and tasted like something I've never had before.

Course 2: this course I didn't really care for. Baked green mussel was the first thing I tried but I didn't like it. Oyster I didn't get to really try all the way, because it kept on falling out of my mouth. The tuna tataki was my favorite in the course, it was a little spicy around the edges because of the pepper.

Course 3: Nigiri course. The Ebi (shrimp) was my least favorite, the Unagi (eel) was my favorite out of all the courses. The sauce was the best part. And the rice. The eel had a very amazing texture. The sake (salmon) was also pretty good.

Then I had a great pina colada that I liked even more than the blackberry mango. It had an orchid flower in it which I gave to my mom.

Course 4: Maki course. The spicy tuna and AZIA roll I didn't get to try because I was too full, but the California roll was pretty good.

But I did have enough room for dessert, which was a pineapple boat. It was just pineapple with a sword stuck into it. The manager told us that the Japanese always have a light, refreshing fruit for dessert. It tasted very fresh.

I met Bill Summerville who came up with the idea of the Junior Gourmet Club. He has a restaurant called La Belle Vie. Also I met Jennifer Knoch who has a cool blog called Jen on the Radar. They asked me questions but I didn't have enough time to answer because I was too busy tasting the food.

It was the biggest meal I've ever had! I'm excited to go to the next Junior Gourmet Club.

New Wok!!!

We just got a brand new wok, well not exactly. It had all the parts but it was pretty rusty. We found it because somebody was throwing it away but it came with all 8 pieces! We made stir fry with it on the exact day that we got it and the stir fry was great. We used Onion, carrots, broccoli, pork, Ginger, Rice, of course (although we didn't cook that in the wok!). John let us have some tea from Croatia especially for kids.

Meritage

I had beef strudel. but I haven't had apple strudel yet. I had Matzo ball soup, I only had a little because it was too salty. There were a few things I had never tasted before. Duck, which was good. Pig tongue confit was also good. Veal sweetbreads had an amazing flavor in the middle of good and not good. One of my favorite foods I learned to order in French, Pommes Frites = French fries!

The very last thing was a very amazing thing called an Izzy pop which was ice cream covered in chocolate on a stick!

I think I'll go there again, maybe when the menu changes!

Gardens is great!

I went to Gardens of Salonica today, and I introduced an adult to the food...
I ordered some food and he liked it. fries, orzo arni, fava, beets, tyro, octopus, leek lemon soup, pita, and last but not least my own invention for dessert.
