Sake...yummy!

The 10th annual sake tasting arrived in town last night. With 300 different blends from Japan and around the world, my friends and I were fortunate to sample various sake that is not even available outside of Japan.

It seemed like a great idea to attempt to drink every one....IMPOSSIBLE! What the hell was I even thinking about. While each type was judged, I had the overall winners in the differing categories...at the very least. Yummy goodness.

Along with the sake, some of my favorite restaurants offered tapa-like pupus. Hamachi, pork belly, shrimp ceviche....so frackin good! Then...while waiting in the longest line for:



....we thought, it better be awesome! Uh, it wasn't. So disappointing I can't even mention where it came from.


So the after effects: I awoke to a sake headache! Oh well, c`est la vie!

The Golden Opulence Sundae....really?

Yes folks, you are actually seeing the cost of a fracking ice cream sundae, being served at the acclaimed eatery Serendipity. How can they even suggest a $1000 priced dessert? According to their website, you must order this in advance and reservations are required. Really? I can't even imagine the calorie intake; probably enough to last you a week. Opulence they call it, I say insane! It's ludicrous to imagine such an extravagence. A dessert that will be done in a matter of minutes can pay for one months rent, two months worth of gas, a bunch of Coach purses, even two pairs of nicely expensive shoes. Get real folks!
