I Was Just There

People always ask where I’ve eaten lately. I decided to make a list. These are not reviews by any means. For those, check out my weekly column at Metro, published every Tuesday. Otherwise, here’s a list of where I’ve been in the last few months. Most recently, I went to Yours Truly.

Wait ’til you see where I’m off to next. And on those rare nights I’m not in a restaurant, my fella might cook up something like the Chicken with Pancetta and Swiss Chard (pictured above) or I’ll make something, like this fragrant Egyptian Lamb Pie that I made for last night’s supper (I did a regular pie crust instead of filo and I swapped the regular potatoes for sweet ones). Unbelievable. As good as anything in a restaurant.
