May, why are you so confused?!?!

May.  Your weather is exceedingly strange.  First you're hot, then you're cold, windy, and rainy.  Make up your mind confused weather.  You should change into pleasant spring and summer weather.  Too many conflicting plans coming up, but it'll all work out somehow in a daze.

What are the plans?
May:

  • On Sat - Watching a talk by Alton Brown at Monterey Bay Aquarium then poking around the aquarium and driving around. :)
  • in a week, I'll be off to to NY for Lora's graduation and Stephy+my birthdays.  Anyone have suggestions on where/what I should be doing?
June:
  • Wushu tournament volunteering and hanging out with ppl who will be visiting.
July:
  • Super busy. Some mess of whitewater rafting, comiccon, and either 1 or 2 half marathons. :P
Now into the past weekend.  Went to Sent Sovi for a fancy pants tasting menu due to a Bloomspot deal expiring soon.  I love the involvedness of tasting menus.  There was an amuse-bouche and 7 course tasting menu.
  1. amuse-bouche of some chicken liver + something paste on crostini with truffle oil
  2. porcini mushroom soup with toasted cashews
  3. maitake mushroom, frog, citrus and fennel salad
  4. scallop with caramelized scallop kombu jus
  5. melon sorbet with balsamic
  6. lamb confit with wild mushroom ragout and purple potato
  7. 3 cheese plate with honeycomb, nuts, dried fruits, and crostini
  8. raspberry mousse, whipped single malt honey cream, and steel-cut oat cookie
Oh tasting menus make me happy though they also feel ridiculously indulgent.  Unfortunately it was pouring outside by the time it finished.
