Dinner last night with our intrepid DAW publishers Sheila and Betsy, along with Julie, Roger, Ed, and Brad. We dined at the Blue Duck Tavern in DC and had a fabulous meal. Sheila and I did what we've done before and co-ordered appetizer and entrée so we could share. Here's what Sheila and I had... Appetizers: Wood Oven-Roasted Bone Marrow with Bacon Butter and Pistachio Crust; Venison Tartare with Smoked Sherry Aioli and Quail Egg. Entrées: Roasted Muscovy Duck Breast with Fig Compote and Natural Jus; 12-Hour Roasted Suckling Pig Baby with Vegetables and Pork Jus. The table ordered several sides that we shared, along with two bottles of wine, a red and a white, the names of which I never caught. Later, we ordered about four desserts and shared those among us as well. A lovely, leisurely three-hour dinner with excellent conversation.
I swore I wasn't going to eat again until Saturday evening, when DAW will be taking us out again. I'm sure I won't keep that vow, but right now the thought of more food is not enticing. Sheila, however, told me on the way back from the restaurant that she has a 9:30 breakfast meeting with an author this morning. Heh!
Today, I have a panel at 1:00, and Andy and I will probably (after Andy's reading at 2:00) wander around checking out the Art Show, Dealers Room, and probably a few other panels. We've tentatively arranged to go to dinner (groan) with David Coe tonight. Good company, but maybe I'll just order a salad.
