Yesterday I celebrated a rather important birthday. Though I was a little depressed about reaching this milestone, I did spend the day doing things that helped ease the pain. It involved pink champagne, Chanel and stuffing my face at Minetta Tavern.
{The wall is covered with photos of past guests.}
I have been wanting to go to Minetta Tavern for quite some time now, but it's still a hot spot so getting reservations is kinda hard. Luckily my husband took care of that a couple months ago.
{Beef, beef and three pieces of bone marrow. }
We started out with crab salad and stuffed squid and then prepared ourselves for the main event. A gigantic portion of cote de boeuf served with bone marrow...for two. It was tasty, but if you do decide to order this Flintstones portion of meat, make sure you are at least three people eating it. I am still in a food coma. I couldn't even order dessert. I can't even finish this post...
Happy cooking!

Happy Birthday! I don't know what milestone you reached, but you should feel appreciative, not depressed! (Just consider the alternative ....). Happy Wednesday!
