a well deserved indulging monday

Yesterday was a tough day at the office. Dealing with the endless incompetence of shameless broadcasting scoundrels (sbs) is nothing but exhausting and depressing. Luckily there is a healthier life beyond local armageddon, and dinner was meant to prove it. 

Black shrimp with Mexican garlic (great "ajada") and sweet Kumato tomatoes with chopped baby onion turned the evening into a truly inspiring experience.

A 2008 Dalwhinnie Moonambel chardonnay was a very fortunate pick for this elevating occasion. 

Kakawa chocolates from William street provided a perfect ending for such a busy day. Their smoky truffles are to die for, like most of their creations, which deserve a whole detailed posting, to come anytime soon.
