Tired and Lazy

      Last night I was out networking and drank my dinner, so after a late night I forgot to take out my ground beef to defrost and was way too tired to cook by this evening.  While I was out, Coco enjoyed his leftovers and loved his Chocolate Pudding! 
      Since I didn't actually cook, today I'll do my restaurant review version of the Blog:
      I had lunch with a friend at Cyril Renaud’s Restaurant Bar Breton 254 Fifth Avenue, NYC.  I had a House Smoked Salmon Sandwich, Fennel, Cucumber, Cilantro Yogurt & Basil Sauce, Lemon Confit. I had them hold the Cilantro as I am not a fan.  It was a lovely sandwich, but they could have used better bread,  It wasn't a nice cripy baguette they way it should have been. The true treat though, was my friend forced me to share the Lemon Crepe. It was light and delicious with just a hit of a sugar filling with fresh lemon pieces on top. Might have been the best crepe I have eaten. 
    I was in the mood for Indian food for dinner, but Coco wasn't up for an adventure to Jersey City for vegetarian southern Indian, so we stayed in Hoboken. Instead Coco treated me to my favorite Thai restaurant, Sri Thai at 234 Bloomfield Street, Hoboken, NJ.  Tonight I had the Soft Shell Crab with Basil and Chili.  It was perfectly fried Soft Shell Crab, in a tasty chili basil sauce with sauteed peppers and onions. It was quite delicious.  Coco had a Sweet and Sour Pork dish with pineapple and peppers.  He enjoyed his too.  We both thought that there were a few too many peppers for our taste. I am still on a quest to get Coco out for Indian though.
    So I promise to plan better for tomorrow, and since the weekend is coming it could prove to yield quite a few recipes.
