Alcoholics Anonymous

It was Stacey's idea. That's all I'll say about THAT.

La vie est belle

Sometimes after a very blah day, you have to treat yourself to a nice meal and nicer company. Here's what went down on Tuesday:

Dinner at Bastille
La Biciclette cocktail ... gin, sweet vermouth, St. Germain, peach bitters
Salade Verte ... Mixed greens with zinfandel vinaigrette and chives
One glass of Le Clos des Lumières Rosé
Steak frites au Roquefort ... Grilled flat iron steak, red wine poached shallots, and Roquefort butter, served with pommes frites
Digistif ... Glass of Amaro Nonino (seen above; tastes like orange blossom), plus a sample of green chartreuse (also seen above), because I chatted up the bartender :) tastes like very very alcoholic herbal tea. Simply amazing.
Butterscotch creme brulee.

The Company
Stacey ... Always up for a good meal. That's why I love her.
Maddie ... The most attractive friend I have. A man has to be an idiot not to fall in love with her.
Michael ... My old friend from Santa Barbara who I went to junior high and high school with, up to see his sister's graduation.

Cheers

I want a flask.

Correction:

I want a pink flask.
