A Taste of India

 

Ate at A Taste of India in Lake George today.  This is really a nice place to eat with yummy food and a nice view.

I had some wonderful dal mahkani,  which is a creamy lentil dish served with jasmine rice (cooked with a little cumin!)

We also had some paneer in a tomato-based sauce:

Plus, the view is nice!

Happy Pi Day!

It's March 14, Happy Pi day!

We went out for real pie to celebrate (DH loves math).

Went to The Silo, which is known for homemade pies.

I had strawberry rhubarb.


John had chocolate cream.


Plus coffee.

Delicious!

Red Fish Grill in New Orleans

Probably the best meal we had over the weekend. We went for lunch.
We both wanted a poboy or gumbo. Well, the lunch menu had a combo option, so we were all set!

I got the BBQ Shrimp Po-Boy
Crispy fried Louisiana shrimp tossed in a peppery butter sauce. Served on a Leidenheimer po-boy loaf with lettuce, tomatoes and red onion.
The soup was the de jour, which was a shrimp and corn chowder. Excellent.





My sister had BBQ Oyster Po-Boy
Freshly shucked P&J oysters flash fried and tossed in a Crystal BBQ sauce. Served on a Leidenheimer po-boy loaf with red onions, lettuce, tomatoes and housemade blue cheese dressing. Paired with Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo.


For dessert, we preordered the Double Chocolate Bread Pudding
A Red Fish Grill Signature...
Rich dark and semisweet chocolate bread pudding served with white and dark chocolate ganache and chocolate almond bark. It was divine!


The aftermath:

Dragos in the French Quarter

Dragos in New Orleans.
This is a newer location for Dragos into the French Quarter.
They are the home of the charbroiled oysters. That actually didn't seem appealing to me, as I tried oysters once and didn't care for them.
However, my sister likes oysters, so she got some and I tried them.

They were fabulous! You could taste the chargrilling and they had the most wonderful buttery garlic sauce on them, plus parmesan cheese. Soaking up the sauce with the french bread on the side was heaven!

For dinner, I had the
CRESCENT CITY SHRIMP
Large Gulf shrimp seasoned with fresh herbs and spices, served the “New Orleans Way” with French roll and a baked potato.

These were quite spicy instead of regular bbq shrimp, which is more garlicky and buttery. This dish had a ton of blackening seasoning. Quite good. The potato on the side was okay, it was on the edge of it's holding time.

My sister had the Shuckee Duckee
Blackened duck breast over linguini pasta
with oysters and cream sauce.

Panera Bread Dinner

Went to Panera for a You Pick Two meal combo.
I tried the Lowfat Chicken Tortilla soup. Very tasty! Paired with a Cafe Classic Salad and an apple on the side.
Did not like the apple at all. It had soft spots and was too sweet for me.
