food blog weekend

*
sam's right...this blog is slowly changing into a food blog.

bouley and it's tasting menu on saturday were everything that fine dining is cracked up to be. just not something that i could do every weekend.

because i was surrounded by foodies (fine foodies) this weekend, i was taken to this store:

la maison du chocolat

i didn't buy anything on saturday when we were there (for fear of spoiling my appetite for bouley)...and really, this place is as far from cheap as you can get. irregardless, i want to go back and try this:

macaron

in particular, i want to try the rigoletto (chocolate caramel macaron).
i have KY to thank for my new food obsession. thanks.

waiting for weekend

with no days of pre-call or post-call, it is a full work week. meh.

last night i went out for pommes frites and dollar-sushi. (yes, you read that right. dollar-sushi). first stop, pommes frites. i may have to eat fries every week until i have tried all the dipping sauces. last night, we had the cheese sauce, sundried tomato mayo, & parmesan peppercorn mayo. the next ones i want to try are mango chutney mayo and grilled eggplant mayo. (as per recommendations). second stop, dollar-sushi. it may sound totally sketchy, but it was surprisely o-k. the place was packed, which is generally a good sign. after, i was too lazy to walk to butter lane to get "the better cupcake." (next time...)

tonight, i was contemplating checking out barney's warehouse sale which started today. after reading some stories online of the queue to get in this morning and the lack of any worthy sales, i passed and decided to check out the saja sample sale in the lower east side. i'm glad i did. although the sample sale was a disaster with absolutely no rhyme or reason to the way merch was put on the racks...there were a lot of great deals. trying to look thru the racks was deadly. i don't know why, but there were a lot of tiny asian girls there. and asian girls can get mean when they are shopping for deals, peoples. i snagged this small sized dress (which were few, most of the merch was size 6), as angry little asian girls watched with envy.

saja cowl neck dress in moss print. (retail $470! who would pay this, really?!!) sample sale $70

finally friday tomorrow! want to try one of ippudo or jewel bako .

this weekend: visitors! saturday night booked at bouley. the tasting menu. all i can say is, it better be good, peoples. it better be really good.
