TheWeekend Recap

     A great weekend consists of sunshine, good times, great people and delicious food!

 La Dolce Vita

   Caught Sunday brunch on the outdoor terrace on last Sunday...

Lox platter with bagel, cream cheese, tomato, capers and red onion

Stuffed French Toast with Marscapone cheese

Chef's Omelette: Filet mignon, caramelized onion and provolone cheese 

 We also enjoyed a live jazz performance for Sunday brunch and unlimited mimosas. Having had my 80 year old great aunt with us, I consumed a baker's dozen alone on that day. I'm sure they were just waiting to cut me off.  #teamnolimit



Bucharest Grill


  

Added chicken to the vegetarian for a fresher take on the shawarma

 Sunday evening I got caught up but lucky enough I was with cool friends who were hungry. This go 'round I switched up my usual chicken or Bucharest (fat gurgle) shawarma option. Started with the vegetarian which has cucumber, tomato, green peppers, onions, feta and fries :o)

Quick "beignets"

 

 

 On Sunday I happened to fall into a kickback session ending in a "faux" beignet to trick your taste buds until next Mardi Gras. Thanks to a rockstar I met through my awesome cousin :o)

Start with flaky type biscuits, cut to strips. Heat oil to med-low. Cook evenly on all sides, 15-30 seconds on all side. Dust with cinnamon and powdered sugars, enjoy :o)

   

  *** This is where I insert a picture of the final product. Unfortunately, I don't have one. Because as soon as those crispy, crispy delicious "biscuit fingers" were placed in front of many, I was no longer of the home sapiens species; I was a beast in the wild who had emerged from months of hibernation and saw its first plate of a deep fried dessert... but trust me, they were delicious ***
