One of the things I want to do this year, is to try new restaurants, have different meals, not always going to the usual places and having the same meals.
Today we went to the wound nurse, when we left Marv said he wanted to have ravioli for lunch. We went to Carino's that's not too far from the doctor's office. They didn't have ravioli so he had tortellini and a salad, he enjoyed the meal, it was more Northern italian style , I like it better than southern style where everything is covered in tomato sauce.
I had my favorite spinach salad, with pecan encrusted chicken, bacon, thin crispy fried onion rings, bacon and gorgonzola. I had them put the spinach on the side, I like baby spinach but not as many as they put in the salad. It worked well. I know I was going to try something different but I do like that salad! We enjoyed our lunch.
Yesterday I met N in Long Beach, it was a beautiful sunnhy 72 degrees day. We usually eat at Acapulco by the harbour, but I wanted to buy some pastries in Seal Beach so he drove me there. It's hard to find parking so he left me there and drove around. When he picked me up he told me about this restaurant he saw while driving and we decided to try it.
The St. Germain Bistro is very cute inside, I liked the decoration and the lighting. The waitress was very nice, N asked her if she was french, she said she was Czech, so N had a long chat with her about his grandmother being Czech and how he had a car accident in Prague and how he lived in France for a year and loved the St Germain du Pres area and that's why he chose this place to have lunch and blah blah blah, that man can talk!
This is what we had for lunch:
We had tapenade as an appetizer, I had croque monsieur and tomato bisque soup. N had a savory crepe of cheese and ham with mushroom bechamel and a salad. I had a Kir Royale to drink.
It was a good lunch.
Au revoir!
