so the iron chef II austin event was quite amazing. first of all, hurray for the charity; secondly, damn good job by the staff to be able to serve 10 half course meals plus wine flights; finally, great movie.
so Black Orpheus: see it. its a beautiful movie with great culture and a good story.
highlights of the food:
black drum cake with chayote slaw kissed with black bean sauce and pepper confetti.
sugar cane skewered watermelon pork with mashed plantains and watermelon salsa
guava smoked goat with four onion marmalade
and tropical fruit surprise
and yesterday was the full day resumption of work and a corporate happy hour reception downtown. our company is having a conference for all the higher corporate people here in austin and we local peons were allowed to visit and socialize in order to make everyone feel comfortable. so i was able to partake in better than average happy hour food of sushi, sashimi, crab cakes, smoked salmon, roasted veggies, etc. plus the requisite open bar.
but it ends up being just another friday no matter how thursday goes; so with the winteriness about i must toil on and be productive here at work.
merry weekending all!
