AH was over last night, and instead of being Angelenos and going out to eat, we stayed in and experimented with the contents of my fridge. Overall, I have to give us a very satisfactory A+. And I felt like I had to work a bit as AH had filled me up with homemade goodness a few days earlier.Here was AH’s menu:

  • An avocado salad with homemade dressing, green onions on the side
  • wheat pasta with vodka sauce and spicy sausage on the side
  • water flavored with lemons and cucumbers

(AH if I totally got this wrong, please fix it. Your menu was a thing of beauty.) The menu at my place:

  •  pastrami salad with endives and balsamic honey dressing totally brought into incarnation by AH herself
  • spicy cornmeal muffins
  • goat cheese and currants
  • pomegranate wine totally

It just goes to show that no matter how many “best restaurant in Los Angeles” lists we come up with, sometimes there’s just no place like home. Hmmm, a bit sappy, but food does go right to the gut.
