I tried another José Andrés restaurant on Friday. Oyamel was great, even though I had to pull out my laptop to post a story for work as the meal ended. (It's so much fun to be on call for the website.) I'm still working on reservations to try José Andrés' much-hyped Minibar.
Saturday night was Riesling wine club. I was very excited to be tasting lots of my favorite variety of wine. We had seven bottles plus pad thai, chicken salad sandwiches, spring rolls, banana bread and pie.
Today I prepared for a crazy week of baking and activity. (I am supposed to bring baked goods to work three days in a row — including for the Congressional Cook-off.) So, I made a trip to the grocery store to buy lots of baking ingredients. Surprisingly, Giant had absolutely NO cake flour. I don't normally buy cake flour, but I assumed the store would have at least one brand of it. No luck. So I stopped at Whole Foods later. And that store had only one brand of cake flour (which is enough for me).
I also saw the movie "Eat Pray Love" this afternoon. I loved the book. The movie was pretty good. Obviously, it left out some parts of the book, but it was kind of nice to have a condensed version of the book that lasted only a couple hours. Seeing the movie has made me want to re-read the book, even though I read it just four months ago.
