December 7, 2008 - Nicole's Food Log
I had the best of intentions for today... until i ended up at Blue Star with Jess for dinner. One of my favorite restaurants, Blue Star features a rotating menu and... drumroll please... half-price bottles of wine on Sundays. The home of fabulous food, Blue Star's menu includes such quirks this time as potato pancakes with caviar and maca gnocchi and cheese (which Heather will be pleased to know involves squash). But best of all, they have the best melt-in-your-mouth cheeseburger on earth... complete with yummy smoked applewood bacon.
Thought I'd at least throw the above out as a prelude to the following...
Lunch
Budget gourmet Fettucine Alfredo (300)
Soft pretzel cheese bites (320)
Workout
2500m on rower (132)
40 minutes on stationary bike (180)
Dinner
1/2 bottle of chardonnay
Bread with EVOO and hummus
bacon Cheeseburger
Fries
1/3 of a corleone
(yummy goodness!!! it's homemade vanilla ice cream rolled in honey, cinnamon and various other stuff)
1/2 chocolate pumpkin parfait thing
(amazingly tiny... probably double the size of a sot glass... and not sure what all was involved, but there was pumpkin bread, brownie, some kind of pumpkin whipped cream meets mousse... divine...)
Another good food day, right? Well, at least it was one hell of a dinner!

You know...wine comes from grapes. Grapes are fruit. While I'm not suggesting that wine be counted as a fruit (as I'm sure that's crossed your mind by now), isn't it even remotely possible that if you like wine, you just might like grapes? I just can't imagine not EVER eating fruits or vegetables. I'm just sayin'...
There are actually a couple of native grape carieties that taste much like wine, scuppernongs and muscadines. They have those pesky seeds, but taste much like alcohol (at least to me and a few other people I've forced to try them).
