Last Saturday, we had our first noticeable snow fall of the season. There was even some accumulation left the next day. That’s cause for a celebratory meal! How about mofongo? I just like saying that word: mofongo. It’s mashed plaintains cooked with spices, bacon and onions. There’s bacon in it. ‘Nuff said. Caribbean Breeze was decent. I’m not sure my socks were knocked off by the cubano sandwich but the ceviche tasted fresh and the seafood enchiladas were good too. Maybe because they were served with a side of mofongo.

Harry’s Tap Room

The first time I went to Harry’s Tap Room was for brunch. I was ravenous and their bread basket was filled with a miscellany of warm biscuits, breads, and muffins so of course I had to try each kind. By the time the New Orleans eggs benedict on Wolferman’s english muffins – (doesn’t it just sound good?) came out, I thought I’d be too full. But no, it was so good with the tomatoey gumbo-like topping that I found room for it. That bread basket alone would entice me back there, but I’m still thinking about the eggs benedict.
The next time I went was for happy hour. Since I was hungry before the crew decided where to go for dinner, I dug into some baked brie first. The soft warm cheese had a flaky crust around it and it must’ve been really bad for you because it tasted so gooey good!
I would love to go back and I would recommend it to others.

Tis Friday after a crazy week dealing with unstable and mean people at work. I’m so relieved! I love my job – I love my job – I love my job. Also since last week, I’ve been dealing with acid reflux and heartburn. At first, I thought it was running that caused it but the gastroenterologist thinks maybe I just produce too much acid. Here all along, I thought I had an iron stomach. I can eat ANYTHING! Anything except coffee, fruit, wine, juice, kimchee, pickled anything. Last week, I was nearly done in by an innocuous peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I downed Maalox to put out the fire and it helped for all of 5 seconds as it went down my throat. So I’ve truly given up coffee (for now), no cheating. Also, the doc said no food or drink 2 hours before bed. For anyone who likes to keep water by their nightstand, save it til morning or you run the risk of pissing off your esophagus. And if you like eating as much as I do, that just sucks.
