Indulgent martinis @ Absoluti Goosed

Sweet and Sour Chicken done right

Sweet and Sour without that gloppy sauce a Chinese restaurant would serve. The kitchen does not let the sauces overwhelm the proteins and the vegetables were brilliant in fresh vibrant colors and crunch

Pad Thai @ Basil Spice

Two kinds of.noodles, shrimp and tofu....lotsa crushed peanuts....heating the leftovers for round two @ home now

Thai @Basil Spice

BasilSpice on S Grand nuances the flavors you expect  distinguishing themselves from the pack. This soup looks benign but full of flavor and not too rich despite the coconut milk base

The Best $6.99 Sauvignon Blanc

Get to Trader Joes. Now. If you like a crisp, straight forward Sauvignon, this is a winner. It's a special buy, it won't last so stock up for the autumn and for holiday parties. You will not find a better value or something else so drinkable for $6.99.
