Last night, the boyfriend and I met friends at Jones, my favorite restaurant in Philly.
I ordered one of my favorite dishes there last night, the sesame-seared tuna with coconut rice, snow pea salad and wasabi-sweet soy sauce. They won't share the recipe with me, but I went online and found some very similar recipes.

If your mouth is watering now, just wait until you taste this delight! I saw the recipe on TV and immediately had to run out to the store to try it. It was divine!

So, over Labor Day weekend, I completed goal #39. I tried three varieties of sharp aged cheddar that I have not knowingly had before and to make it even better, they were garnished with a smoked salt and served along side brauts that had come straight from Wisconsin.
I need to get myself some of this salt:

That was just a flash of my culinary experience over the weekend.

As the restaurant critic for The Seattle Times, Nancy Leson knows her way around the coastal city's restaurant scene. When it was time to treat her husband on his birthday, she took him to Canlis the city's most expensive a la carte restaurant.
For once, the meal was entirely on her dime “and it was worth every penny of it,” she says.
