lagilmanOh NYC culinary choices, how I do love thee.
Last night, an expat New Yorker made reference to the "menu folder." This is a thing all New Yorkers Understand, and apparently folks in Texas do not. Your menu folder is a dragon's hoard, it is a jewelbox treasure, it is your life and your stomach's salvation. Even I, who order out rarely, have a menu folder.
My parents' menu folder? Is a Thing of Wonder. Especially in this neighborhood, which is overflowing with really good choices.
After much deliberation and consultation with my tastebuds, I went with Thai spring rolls and drunken noodle w/ chicken.
If you do not understand/enjoy the delicate tingling of the inside of your mouth and tongue that comes from properly spiced foods, you cannot understand this meal. If you do... I need say no more.
Except that I also have a Reisling kabinett to go with. And all my work for the day is done.
