Cooling Drinks And Summer Dining Specials

2017-09-12

Many years ago, too many frankly to remember, there was a television game show called Name That Tune. On it, contestants would compete to see who could identify a popular song hearing the fewest possible notes.For me, it doesn't matter if they're blond, brunette, red-head, tall, short, athletic or slender. [Laughs] I guess you can say I like all types of women. But a woman who is down to slow cooker pork belly earth scores major points with me! It's a turn-on.When Anne went to ask guests how they liked the food, they did not. At least six pork belly crispy were sent back. As the duck rillettes came back, Jamil said he would not serve them again, but he put it back on the customer, taking no blame for the inferior dish. When Jed came back to speak to Jamil, he was disappointed that he saw nothing wrong with the brown smears on the plates that turned the diners off at the sight of the resemblance of poop.Bacon is meat candy (especially when fried up with a little maple syrup). A fruity rose champagne like Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rose or, if you are seriously celebrating, Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Rose would pair well with slow cooker slow cooked belly pork. I figure, if you are planning to put meat in your alcohol, why not select a $500 champagne. What does Ace of Spades taste like? The aforementioned rose wine has an extremely tiny and creamy bubble finesse paired with pomegranate and strawberry aromas with a long tingling acidity. Ace of Spades is very feminine and refined, but not dissimilar to a few other $90 champagnes I've tried. Bacon Factoid: As a vegetarian I will never admit to "giving it up," I just avoid it.The Henry House: This ancient building going back from 1834 will definitely present you with old fashioned feelings. Additionally, it owns its own beer! It is situated on Barrington Street alongside Harbor slow cooked pork belly and the Westin Hotel.Isn't it irresponsible to teach a philosophy of investing, and not spend a certain amount of time and effort explaining the inherent risks, and ways to avoid them? That's exactly what the one hour "Flip" shows don't give you. They spit out sixty minutes of fun and profit, but very little of the down-and-dirty facts of life.And speaking of Mardi Gras, Assaggi Mozzarella in Bethesda (4838 Bethesda Ave., 301-951-1988) will celebrate Carnevale di Venezia on Tuesday, February 12 from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. The Venetian carnival is one of the oldest in Europe and has been celebrated in Venice since the 15th century. Assaggi is offering a four-course prix-fixe menu on the 14th, priced at $49 per person. Dishes reflect Venetian cooking in such specialties as wine-scented pappardelle with braised octopus ragu, braised veal shanks, liver and onions,and chestnut and marsala soup. Traditional Italian sweets and mini donuts will end the meal.
