We are down to the finale. I am mostly just tidying up and putting away in the house to make Craig's life easier. Ken is outside washing the motor home - and it is cold out there!!
Craig, Ken and I went downtown to La Creme Brulee last night, and I must say I was quite disappointed. The name, the accent, the ambiance were far superior to the food. It has a limited menu of only about five appetizers, five entrees, and two or three desserts.
Even though it was before seven, they were out of three of the entrees. We ordered onion soup, and it was mediocre at best. Mine was just tepid, and the soup had all the marks of being watered down. The basket of rolls looked inviting, but they tasted like they had been living in the freezer for several weeks. The wine list consists of just one wine, French, Cotes d Rhone, in all three colors, and we all three enjoyed the bottle of red wine. We chose to share a country pate which came with three little scrappy pieces of melba toast, 3 cornichons, and a half dozen broken pieces of walnut. The pate was good, but it could easily have been the French brand available at Costco. The creme brulee was the better part of the meal, but not nearly as rich as some I've had or made.
If it is still in existence when we come home next spring, we'll try it one more time.
This really is the last blog from home. Probably California next time. Ciao
