Yummy Halibut

So Tucker made Sarah Burns & I dinner. And he served Halibut with a Bay Shrimp filled Champagne Cream Sauce over Saffron Basamati Rice with Wild caught Smoked Salmon skirting the Halibut. Let me just say that it was divine, and I mean almost as good as the Truffles & Turbot we had at Le Doyen. Which I thought was sort of bizarre since we where eating the meal with Sarah who was also at the special Le Doyen dinner, I'm sure Gretchen remembers this!

The Price is Right

Well I don't know if all of you where able to watch the last two The Price is Right with Bob Barker. But Tucker & I where, here is the proof! Does any one know who the new host of the show is? Poor Tucker is in denial & hasn't watched the show since the last one with Bob. I don't think it will be the same...

Wine Dinner @ the Patisserie

The Portland Food & Wine Society had a Pinot Noir Tasting @ the Patisserie along with dinner. I took some photos of the event, I couldn't get over all of the wine glasses !!

Plate of Pretty Desserts...

I thought it would be fun to post this picture of desserts. I took this picture on Sunday May 6th when portlandpicks.com came in to see the place before featuring us on their website. I like how the stained glass is reflecting off of the granite counter top. We are still on there until this Friday, I think.

Cinco De Mayo Din Din

Well as most of you know we ended up just having Cinco De Mayo feast with Tucker's Parents, Doug & Gretchen. We had wonderful time and the food was amazing, as usual... I have included a picture of the Empinadas that where the main dish. But to be honest I could barely eat one, I was already soooo full from the prior courses :)

Cinco De Mayo

Well I am excited to announce that we will be having a special Dinner for Cinco De Mayo!! We are very excited to spice things up a bit and host a different sort of dinner :) Tucker informed me that the hat doesn't go with Cinco De Mayo, but he still let me have fun with it...

These are very interesting - be sure to take the time to observe # 7 as instructed - they are all amazing...

#1

Is this possible?

#2

#3

Are the purple lines straight or bent?

#4

Do you see gray areas in between the squares?

Now where did they come from?

#5

This one is kind of creepy...

You should see a man's face and also a word...

Hint: Try tilting your head to the right, the world begins with 'L'

#6

If you take a look at the following picture , let me tell you .... it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it.... Weird ?
