It’s high time that I posted something other than funny videos. Unfortunately, I have little time for cooking or baking or even going out for chocolatey things.
Last night, though, S and I did go to Tria, where he got wine and I looked at the extensive snack menu (the reason I’m drawn to Tria). It seemed like everyone in the bar was on a date, including the very awkwardly chatting couple beside us. The conversation mostly revolved around her failed tennis career. It didn’t seem like the date was going much better.
It took much deliberation, but finally I chose their Rogue Chocolate Stout Bread Pudding with Allagash Cherry Sauce. I was a little befuddled by all the stuff mentioned in its name (rogue? stout? allagash? what was it going to do, waddle off the table with my wallet?) However, it ended up being a melty, squidgy bread pudding with chocolate sauce and dried cherries throughout. S had olives. Olives and bread pudding do not a match make. The bread pudding alone was quite warm and delicious, just the sort of thing for a cold winter’s night.
I can’t resist. This made me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe and was reduced to barking and squeaking noises. How do the Japanese come up with such amazing shows? Somehow they’ve tapped into the truth of bad comedy, that splatting never gets old, especially if you add costumes.
