Best Meal of the Year, so far

(Written Monday PM)

Saturday evening, Oddfellas Cantina, Floyd, VA.

Izzy: Tandori lamb with mango-tomato chutney, saffron rice with fennel, vegetables (he shared the broccoli with me). Bread & dipping sauce. Red wine.

Me: Portabella & shitake mushroom spring roll (with bits of onion and ginger) with lemon-yogurt (& some other green spice) dipping sauce. The spring roll wrapper was lightly seasoned with chipotle peppers. Chipotle infused goat cheese medallion in light cornmeal breading, with warm tomato salsa (jalapeno & cilantro!) and tortilla chips.

Live music. No smoking. Bliss.

Menu changes often -- last year we both raved about the chick pea fries & homemade ketchup. Can't wait to see what's cooking next year!
