Food and Music Porn :)

Pictures will have to wait-i cannot get the upload function to work for some reason.

We are spending the last couple of days of Spring break in the Napa Valley before heading back to reality in Portland. I thought I would share a VERY wonderful dinner we had at Brannan's

Tim Hockenberry was singing live in the bar and his very sexy and smooth voice carried beautifully throughout the restaurant providing the perfect atmosphere to drink my perfectly mixed vodka mojito (with Belvadere vodka, mint, sugar and lime).

I have discovered the joy of food since banding. Before I started this whole lapband thing I really thought the band would make me not think about or want food. It is very odd but I really think the band has had the opposite effect. I am now very into both the quality and variety of food that I eat. In case you have not noticed I even devote entire posts to listing the food I eat when on vacation or even just at home. Tonight is no exception. Dinner was sublime :)

David had bone marrow (Weird I know). I tasted it...it tasted like the fat bits on a good roast beef. I would not order it but I am glad he and therefore I could give it a try. I had a delicious cheese plate with a mild blue cheese, a serana cheese and a goat (a firm brie). With these cheeses were a crusty flat bread, some cranberry crustini's, a berry compote and honey with bits of comb inside it. There were also pecans. The meal was delish! Grace had a lovely mac and cheese.

This lovely meal was at the end of a fun day despite torrential rain. We have a nice hotel with finally a queen sized bed (ahhhhhhhh more bed for me) and a little walk around the little down of Calistoga (I highly recommend this town to the Napa curious).
