  Earlier this week, megnut pointed to a Jamie Oliver recipe for Braised Ligurian Chicken on the New York Times. So, we decided to try this out tonight. We haven’t eaten it yet, so I’ll have to hold off on the review — but, it does look good. Update: It’s a keeper. The flavor and essence of this dish is amazing. If you get a chance, try this recipe.

  

  The problem with food pictures is that even it looks good in pictures, you still can’t get a sense for how it smells. This dish is oozing of a complex aroma of wine, rosemary, and a olives.

  So, Cindy and I celebrated our first year of marriage this weekend… woo-hoo! On Saturday night, we decided to go to Farallon — an interesting seafood restaurant in San Francisco known for it’s cool ambiance. Anyway, luckily, we were seated in probably the best table in the house (a small intimate booth upstairs). However, directly in front of us was a table with five very loud people… two couples and a daughter who was just so into herself. The tables weren’t that close to each other, but we literally spent most of the dinner listening to these people. One of the ladies at the loud table had her legs crossed (indian style). Now, I’m not a big fan of Miss Manners or Emily Post but I do object to poor etiquete at a decently nice restaurant.

  Anyway, the food was ok… my dish (Atlantic cod) was so-so (a little on the bland side). Cindy liked her bass.
