Last night I blew my diet, big time. Dave & I went to The Prado restaurant (in Balboa Park) with some friends for a wine dinner. I thought I could be semi-good, but the menu I thought they were serving was not the one they had last night. This was the menu:
"Reception" --- Pommes Frites with Romesco Sauce (Okay, these were glorified french fries!!) served with Moet and Chandon champagne.
First Course --- Seared Diver Caught Maine Scallops wrapped with Prosciutto, black truffles, wild Oregon mushrooms, red wine reduction, rosemary oil --- served with a Pinot Grigio
Second Course --- California Spiny Lobster Salad, apricot & fennel, dressed in a dijon truffle vinaigrette --- served with a Bordeaux Blanc (Our least favorite course)
Third Course --- Foie Gras Crusted Organic Veal Chop, grilled peaches and summer corn, blueberry gastrique --- served with a Bordeaux Rogue (Everyone raved about this dish --- the veal chopped was excellent!)
Dessert --- Ricotta Cheesecake Tart, dark Belgian spiced sauce, pear crisp & seasonal berries --- served with a port-like dessert wine. (At this point, I figured I might as well eat some of this too, since I had eaten all the other courses & had the wine. I'm glad I did . . . it was absolutely delicious!!)
Now, back to yogurt and oatmeal, and lean and green meals.
Yummy!
