spoon: (still) ga ga ga ga ga

this is getting to be a habit with me…
started the week off with another trip to spoon, this time with allison…

allison and i almost never order the same items so that we can do the “taste and trade.” but we couldn’t resist the leek and mushroom tartlettes and the shiitake mushroom potato pancakes with smoked salmon & watercress. and while the specials are reasonably priced, these were too small–and good– not to have a serving all to ourselves.

…which left room for dessert–we split a slice of chocolate croissant bread pudding.

sound like you’ll need your stretchy pants for this one? think again. flaky croissant, with rich bits of thick chocolate, even the “eggy” pudding parts were a touch sweet, but the lightness of this will surprise you. if you see it on the menu, don’t pass it up…

who wants to meet me on tuesday for a slice of king cake?!
