As the pig flies

Title says it all. Weekend of way too much good food, and some quality time w/ Kai, Ingrid, and Amanda.

Favorites?  

Such a difficult question, that. Actually, our group of four came to a surprising amount of consensus as to our favorites.  Favorite restaurant of the lot (lot = French Laundry, Ubuntu, Bistro Jeanty), was definitely Ubuntu.  The chef was also really really nice to us because of a friend ;). 

The dishes are maybe what you’re most interested in…my faves below.

Sorry for some fuzziness of pics, still trying to work out some disagreements with my new SLR :) 

Lavender sugar almonds, Ubuntu

Mushroom pizza w/ local egg, Ubuntu

Cheesecake in a jar, UbuntuÂ

 

 

Pearls + Oysters (Caviar + Oyster + Tapioca), French Laundry

Uni on warm rice + Granny smith slices, French Laundry

 

 And some good tomato soup from Bistro Jeanty

 

 

Assorted goodness from Bouchon Bakery (the bouchons, unsurprisingly, are pretty darned good.)Â
