I was on the east coast for Christmas week, and did very well at gaining those extra holiday pounds. Saturday I had a huge plate of seafood risotto at Sophie’s Bistro, in Somerset, Sunday, my family did a great big chinese restaurant dinner in Denville after sitting around my aunt’s eating some great antipasto and other snacks. Monday we made a few racks of lamb after some butternut squash soup.
Tuesday I went into NYC walked and around all day. I had a street pretzel with mustard, as required for visitors. I also had some sushi at Sushi a-Go-Go near Columbus Circle. The sushi was actually very good considering how ‘efficient’ the place was. Like their name implies, it’s about as close to fast food sushi as I’ve seen.
For dinner, we ate at San Domenico, on Central Park South. The Italian Christmas eve tradition is the feast of the seven fishes and this place did it very well. As an added bonus, Burt Wolf, TV foodie/travel guide was eating there as well. I’ll give a full review in a separate post.
For Christmas we had a meal at home, an appetizer of New Zealand Prawns and cockles with some lime and ginger, followed by a wild rice stuffed pheasant with Lingonberries. Again the recipe will follow in a separate post.
Thursday we had a nice meal at a local Italian restaurant,
