One good meal deserves another. ML and I returned to The House in San Francisco for dinner with my sisters over the weekend. Whenever we have a memorable meal, we always vow to return but it's difficult when there are so many other establishments that require our patronage. Thus, we jumped at the opportunity to go back as ML enjoyed her previous epicurean experience at The House.
It was an all meat night consisting of two steak dishes, the pork chop (in photo above), and a chicken dish. We started with the shrimp and chive dumplings as well as a lobster tempura salad - a special for the night and really delicious.
The highlight had to be Carolyn Shin's first ever glass of wine. We ordered an Argentine Malbec for the table and when our server set four glasses, I noticed Carolyn's eyes grow wide and she began to not-so-subtlety poke me in my side which is Saebom sign language for "hey, check this out. i'm about to get away with some underage drinking". She excused herself to the bathroom and later we learned that she left our table to make sure she wouldn't be carded. Ha!...clever girl; you are ready to leave the leave nest and move on to college for sure.
Good time, good food as always at The House.
A sophisticated drink should be handled with elegance and grace. Carolyn Shin spent some time to educate me on how to properly handle a glass of wine without embarrassing myself (and others).
