Providence

me: heh

yum

9:23 AM we went to Providence for dinner last night

classy joint, 2 michelin stars

it was sooo good

9:24 AM Sara: what did you get?

9:26 AM me: we all did the nine course tasting menu

me, dad, kyle and chuck

it was ridiculous

9:27 AM first was the amuse bouche (so food network) -- a tiny cup of curried carrot soup, a little gin and tonic flavored jelly thing, and a little jell-o "ravioli" with a mojito shot inside (which was INSANE)

9:28 AM next was kampachi sashimi which was nom, i love kampachi anyway and this stuff was the shit, it had the consistency of butter.

then an oyster soup which was all foamy and reminiscent of waves on the shore (as kyle pointed out poetically)

very good, very savory and salty.

9:29 AM then a seared scallop with shaved truffle

which i think was my favorite of the night. it was just perfect

then a sea bass, which was super buttery and rich -- kyle's favorite of the night

9:30 AM then arctic chard, which was sort of like a richer salmon, with like caviar and shit, it was good, but we were totally losing steam by then

THEN FUCKING VEAL

likke five ounces of veal

when we were already stuffed

but it was so good we all ate every little bite

then cheese -- they brought by this cart and we just pointed at what we wanted.

i don't even remember what we got, i was totally slipping into a food coma

9:31 AM then a palate cleanser little gelee thingy

then dessert

which was this really light custard with lychee gelato and shaved chocolate and coconut on top

it was really light which was necessary by then

9:32 AM SO FUCKING GOOD

You have to save up and go sometime.

i am not kidding, you would fucking LOVE it.

9:34 AM Sara: yeah that sounds so good

i have not had a fancy dinner in awhile

me: it was almost ridiculously excessive, but it was for a special occasion so we were all wutevs, let's eat!

9:36 AM Sara: you B-day?

your

me: y

9:37 AM Sara: that is a special occasion!

9:38 AM you are as old as me now

me: yes dear.
