Soul Food


Sue and I have planned a dinner at Acquerello Restaurant more than a month ago. She said it is a fu-fu place but it's worth every dime. I told her that I wanted to try and I would start saving $5 a day so I can afford it.

So with money in our pockets, off we went last night and we were not disappointed. Menu offering included 3-course, 4-course, 5-course or the almight 7-course chef's tasting menu. If I could, I would have the 7-course (and more)... but I settled for a 4-course meal with wine pairing. Every bite was a delight and every sip brought up happy bubbles. Yes, it was heaven!

Check out reviews on the restaurant. I won't repeat what most people say. I totally agree that it's worth all the stars. Further, it has the Michelin stars!

Back to back, I had a great lunch today. I had a chance to try out RN74, a Michael Mina restaurant! Two fantastic restaurants in 2 days? Who can ask for more?

By the way, RN74 stands for Route Nationale 74 in France which passes through Burgundy. What's that mean? YES, GREAT WINES!!

But even with great food and wine, a great dining experience MUST be shared with friends and people who enjoy and appreciate as much as you do. We took time to chat, catch up and share the great tastes.

My tummy is very happy but my soul is even happier. A great time with buddies over great food and wine is just priceless.

Cheers!

Tweet Tweet, Hurray!

Time to Tweet. I signed up for a twitter account today. Honestly, I don't think I'm ready to tweet yet, but I want to try it out for myself since I see more and more ads containing twitter links. It’s twittering everywhere!

It didn’t take long at all for this twittering thing to go from a micro blogging site to become an instant marketing tool. It's hype to tweet and it's useful if you can tweet it right.

What gets me is the the long list of contact info we exchange with people nowadays: name, address, phone number, email address, IM address, profile links (LinkedIn, Facebook), blogs, and yes, your twitter address so I can follow.

What's next?
