And This Evening's Lesson Is...
Hot goat cheese burns.
And ducklava? Is tasty.
So,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
domnall came home from the Calendar meeting today rather late, and so we went out to dinner. At Feast, which is probably my favorite restaurant in Tucson. Now, when the new menu was posted about a week ago, I saw something that looked really tasty - ducklava. They describe it as "phyllo dough layered with duck confit, pistachios and honey" - it's sweet, and a bit savory, and cruncy, and delicious.
I had lamb stew (lamb, dates, citrus, etc),domnall. had their special, which was a chicken breast with a molasses/apple (I think) sauce and potatoes and asparagus. Both things were really tasty. And there was new (to us) hard cider - the name is escaping me, but it was an import - unpasteurized, unfiltered, and while good had an odd (possibly astringent, we decided) taste that lingered. nonetheless, interesting. i was a sissy and went with wyden's pear cider.
This brings us to the goat cheese. See, we usually order a side or two - stick it between us and share. Life is good. This time was fries (garlic and cinnamon and manchego cheese) and goat cheese lumpia - a small, fried, log of cheese in dough. It's important to pay attention to what side of the lumpia you're biting into - the first one I ate spurted into my mouth. Hot goat cheese FTW!
On the brighter side - the smooth goat cheese combined with the tart sauce it's plated with? Mmmmm.
We finished up with a disgustingly rich chocolate tart. I feel pleasantly full. Mmmm...
Afterwards, hit up B&N - sadly, no Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. And my copy of Cooking Apicius has wandered off.
Again!
