Really, it *is* all about the food...


Saturday night, we went to one of Suzie's favorite restaurants in town. Despite having no reservation, Suzie was batting 3-3 when she approached the maƮtre d' at Nopa. We snagged the last walk-in table before the crowds descended upon this justly popular restaurant. But enough talk...the night was all about the food.

The amuse bouche (charentais melon with mint, basil and sea salt), along with Suzie's cocktail (sherry with house-made sour cherry syrup):

My heirloom tomato salad with Shaft blue cheese:

Suzie's chilled Early Girl tomato soup with yogurt and cucumber:

My Moroccan tagine with home-made lemon yogurt:

Suzie's outstanding burger (with more of that Shaft blue cheese and pickled onions)...sorry for the blurry photo, but I was hungry:

Dessert was also grand: Suzie had a trio of sorbets: pluot, nectarine and Gravenstein apple; I had a stone-fruit cobbler with smoky whiskey ice cream. No photos...they didn't last long enough.
