good eats

have had a week full of very good food with even better friends. a recap:

dinner at spice market which was expensed (in other words, not paid for by me) with a great group of people, old and new. the food was pretty ridiculous but i'd expect nothing less from jean georges. hooray for LA real estate moguls partying it up it gotham and letting me tag along gratis.

dim sum at shun lee. excellent if not kind of overpriced. but i haven't been to dim sum there before so it was worth trying once.

brunch at cookshop, a restaurant recommended by mario's assistant, and she ALWAYS knows what's good. however, most the dishes were quite rich, i didn't come close to finishing mine. will go for a salad next time!

another dinner at the coziest italian place imaginable with my new roommate (who is absolutely lovely) and her friend (a brilliant fulbright scholar) and his turkish friends. an evening full of silliness, intellect and excellent wine.

in other news...the cop called. i have yet to call him back. i'm not so sure about our chemistry but i figure i have to give it at least a date. and my intimate evening with barack was not meant to be. vote day in the senate is keeping him in d.c. curses!
