A Terrible Beauty

How come no one told of this before? I love it. It's a wonderful Irish Pub that serves great food.

Frozen Veggies II

9oz frozen asparagus

9oz frozen baby Brussels sprouts

Heat a skillet it in a 450F oven. I turned on the convection as well.

After the skillet and oven get to temp, added about 2 tbsp oil to the skillet then dumped in the frozen veggies.

Roast for 20 minutes. Stir at 10 minutes to ensure everything is coated with the drippings.

Season to taste and serve.

Sam's Pit II

I heard about Sam's Pit from the Renton Hipster so I gave it a try.

I had a brisket sandwich with baked beans. Very good.

I'm a little worried that while the owner is a good chef, he may not know how to run a take-out-joint. Everything was a bit too quiet and a bit too disorganized.

Hopefully word will get around and this place will be a great success.

Novilhos Brazilian Steak House.

We were looking for a cheap Pho shop for dinner when we saw a sign pointing to Novilhos. A neighbor of ours had previously recommended it. So instead of spending $20.00 on Pho, we spent $200.00 on wine and wonderful Brazilian steak dinner.

Yes, Novilhos is a high end experience. It is worth it. Bring your appetite and pace yourself. It's easy to quickly fill up on the unlimited, beautifully prepared meat. In other reviews I've heard people complain that some of the meat was too dry. I think that's because they took only what was offered. We did get an over seasoned outer cut which wasn't to our tastes so we asked for a rare inner cut. The staff quickly brought it and switched to presenting us rare and not medium meat.

The bar looked pleasant. Next time we may just stop there for drinks and see what they offer in the bar menu.
