Got a minor, if there is such a thing, bathroom remodel done this long weekend, so a toast and a meal out was in order.

So what do we have here? Their Bootlegger Old Fashioned with #rittenhouserye. Shrimp ceviche. A shot of the dining room, even though we sat in the bar this time. Pizza with linguica and more. Their chimi steak; a bavette steak with crispy fries, chimichurri, blue cheese and other goodies.

Came home and admired the handiwork. I’ll sleep well tonight.

When I was five, my mother took me out for ice cre When I was five, my mother took me out for ice cream, but I wanted the cream of broccoli cheddar soup instead. Not much has changed; a big, savory bowl of soup remains one of my favorite and most frequent meals. Of course, Japanese ramen is right up there as one of the best. A trip to Afuri Ramen and Dumpling in Beaverton was the perfect winter meal.
.
Afuri Ramen + Dumpling just unveiled their new menu, allowing them to focus on these two type of bowls of goodness, rather than a more izakaya menu. They still carry terrific small plates and donburi and a great bar menu.
.
Everything was great and this is both a great family and date night spot!

I’ve had this LOVELY bottle of Kestrel Vinters’ 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon in my “cellar” since my first visit to their beautiful Yakima Valley winery in 2014. It’s from their Winemakers Select Series. It was time to open this one for our Christmas dinner.
.
And oh, it so did not disappoint! The aromas had us as soon as the bottle was corked, the color, the flavors … just delicious … dense, layered, satiny smooth, wonderfully complex.
.
Don see, btw, was a New York roast beef, corn pudding, roasted squash and carrots, sautéed asparagus and blistered shishito peppers.
.
Happy holidays! Cheers!
