Yesterday was BLT, today BLAT.
Hooked up with the chefs and Mrs. tonight, one of the chef’s birthday.
Guess Where We Are
The Cat’s Blue Moon
Tonight was almost a full moon … not quite
Two in a Bowl Soup
Sedona Tortilla (Vine-ripened tomatoes, tomatillos and corn with mild green chilies, Southwestern spices and crispy tortillas) on the right, Dakota Smashed Pea and Barley (A hearty split pea soup with barley, carrots, onions, savory herbs and scallions) on the right.
Both soups were good, but, the Sedona soup could have used a little bit of chorizo, while the Dakota soup could have used some bacon (or fried SPAM). 🙂
The California Club
Oven-roasted turkey or grilled chicken breast with fresh avocado and Nueske’s applewood smoked bacon (that’s the menu description). Asked the server if I could opt-out of the turkey or chicken portion and double up on the bacon. “Of course” he says. Don’t ask … can’t get. They could always say no.
The Transformed BLAT
Bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato … my current favorite sandwich (with or without avocado, as long as there’s BACON!). When I was young, BLTs were not my favorite (too little bacon), but now, more food places are putting more bacon in their sandwiches … happy Mouse. 🙂
My minor “complaint” tonight, a little too much mayo.
Strawberry Shortcake
Sans whipped cream, because, you know, gas … and worse. 😦
The Cat’s food.
California Field Salad
Mixed greens, strawberries, watermelon, and pistachios. The Cat said so-so.
Asparagus and Spinach Spaghettini with Salmon
Salmon was a little (or a lot) overcooked. Not bad taste though.
Key Lime Pie
This, The Cat liked.
Almost forgot …
The Birthday “Boy’s” Complimentary Ice Cream
Happy B-Day Chef.
So where were we? CPK, Ala Moana.
Enjoy. Eat well.
