<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Four of us ladies celebrating an engagement, and the news of twins arriving soon - I knew nothing would stop this night from being unforgettable! </span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.laposteeatery.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">La Poste Eatery </span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">is placed in Clifton's Gaslight District. <i>La Poste</i> is Fench for postal service, and if I must say, it truly delivers! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The one page menu is laid out as a letter, which includes postage, salutations and body. The atmosphere is modern and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">upbeat with a feel-good, relaxing tone.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To begin, we ordered: a bottle of Millbrandt Cabernet, the Flatbread <i>(</i><i>fig compote, caramelized onion, D’aphinois Fromage, basil, </i><i>pistachio pesto),</i> the Pommes Frites <i>(</i><i>rosemary, black garlic aioli</i>)<i> </i>a.k.a French Fries, and Hot bacon Scallops <i>(</i><i>baby spinach, gorgonzola cream,frisee, crostini). </i></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Onto our second course, and adding the second bottle of cab - I had the Roasted Crimson Pear <em>(fresh herb goat cheese, prosciutto,arugula), </em>a salad so sophisticated and rich. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Last, but certainly not least, opting out of the body, I decided to go with another salutation for my main course. I chose the Mussels and Clams <i>(</i><i>dry cider, coriander, leeks, grilled tomatoes, crostini)</i>. They were great with the wine, and easily fulfilling. The light, creamy broth with grilled tomatoes really complimented the meat from the seafood.</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Please tell me why I can't afford your living room furniture and decorating accessories? My home/living space has some pottery and (some may think) similar looking to the inside of a barn, but it's definitely not popping out of any luxury home catalog.</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">After weeks of becoming obsessively bored with my living room and the want for new decorating ideas, I find myself browsing the websites like PB, Crate & Barrel, West Elm and Hardware Restoration, just to name a few. And after browsing, I come to the realization I may never afford these items... Are they kid-friendly? and will these beautiful pieces cooperate with a 70 lb. boxer?</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

During my lunch break today, I found a great steal at TJ's - a vintage, over-sized glass wine bottle for only $5.50! So, I'm thinking its a start? It's not the Buchanan Sleeper Sofa for $1300 that I feel could be a necessity to any living room, but it's a definite start!</div>Karla4UKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07183953284715339842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944020558215940012.post-71940705405513112332011-03-03T13:06:00.000-05:002011-03-03T13:10:27.637-05:00Enchilada Review<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It's amazing what ingredients I couldn't find when I got home... so I had to omit the red onion and flour. <br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I was super excited to try an alternative to boiling the chicken (before shredding). I added a final picture just to prove my hard work, and I have to say the picture didn't come close to showing the extraordinary flavor the chicken had to offer - the enchiladas, topped with a dollop of sour cream, were muy bueno! </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aeHY8rU51GM/TW_YjFGnE2I/AAAAAAAAAEY/VZ3xPS_sE9w/s1600/enchiladas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" l6="true" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aeHY8rU51GM/TW_YjFGnE2I/AAAAAAAAAEY/VZ3xPS_sE9w/s200/enchiladas.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Karla4UKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07183953284715339842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944020558215940012.post-60103466523103679602011-03-02T16:28:00.000-05:002011-03-03T13:07:07.381-05:0052 and Sunny<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Only one more hour until I am sitting in traffic, finding my way home... </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I have nothing on the menu for tonight's dinner and I'm hoping something comes to me quick. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I know we have frozen chicken, pork loin and possibly, steak, potatoes and pasta.

<li class="ingredient">1 cup frozen corn, thawed </li>
<li class="ingredient">5 canned whole green chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped </li>
<li class="ingredient">4 canned chipotle chiles, seeded and minced </li>
<li class="ingredient">1 (28-ounce) can stewed tomatoes </li>
<li class="ingredient">1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour </li>
<li class="ingredient">16 corn tortillas </li>
<li class="ingredient">1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, canned </li>

</ul><h2><span style="font-size: small;">Directions</span></h2><div class="instructions">Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool. <br />
Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute. <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
