Good morning, kidz!
Well, Tuna's birthday party was great!!! There were 14 of us cousins there, and about 50 of the facility residents! She was thrilled to see her friend from Winnemucca. And to finally meet Rikki's daughter in law. Tina had been jumping out of her skin for weeks, waiting for this, and she bounced awake at 5 ayem - shpilkes - and had a long, lovely day.
After I got back from rehab, I took her and her friend to dinner at an amazing new place - a Brazilian steak jernt - Kravings - on Ventura Bl, just a few blocks away. Ohmigosh! The prix fixe dinner is $33.95 - including a vast, brilliant salad/appetizer bar. Then the fun begins - the waiters circulate with all manner of grilled meats on long skewers, with huge carving knives - they stop at one's table, tell about the meat/fish/shrimp/whatever, ask if you'd like some, and carve a portion right there. After two or three minutes, another waiter comes by with another type of meat on another skewer. This goes on until you beg them to stop.
I had a bite of spiced ground lamb, leg of lamb, filet mignon, chicken in tequila and lime, beef in a spicy marinade, some other beef chunk, mahi mahi, and a couple of other meats. I don't eat shrimp, but my companions had grilled giant prawns. It just keeps coming!!
The flan is the flannest flan in the world - a real star. They also have a wow of a tiramisu and a pistachio ice cream served with a whole spiced pear. Extensive, gorgeous, eclectic wine list. They also have a lounge with live music and a tapas menu. And the decor is ambience times ten. I will be taking others to dine there, oh, yes I will!!!
