I had a lovely dinner out with a friend last night; we went to Foreign Cinema, which neither of us had eaten at, but I'd heard good things about, and wanted to try.
First off, the drinks are named after movies, so I had "The Last Temptation" - pomegranite margarita and a "Touch of Evil" which was tequla, cointreau, bitters and a twist of orange. Quite good, tho .. you know, bitter. :)
We split the french onion soup, which was good, tho not as good as Chez Maman's on the weekend. We had a cheese platter with Black Butte Reserve and Mt. Tam from Cowgirl - the black butte was amazing with macerated berries, making me want something hard and sharp for Sunday as well. (minds. out of the gutter. I meant CHEESE)
She had the risotto with spinach and wild mushrooms - YUM, and I had the Duck Breast with cherries. ZOMG. i mean, seriously.
