Post successful baguette endeavor, Hubby and I headed out for a dinner solo last night at our local Siroc restaurant, downtown DC. Probably our best sampling of Italian food in DC, this restaurant was the site of our last dinner prior to Baby2 joining us. And, apropos, it is the place of our first dinner solo post-Baby2. We had a fantastic time.
What worries me, though, is the fact that the restaurant, while fantastic, doesn't seem to be packed any time that we're there. We ended up closing the restaurant again, the service was top-notch, the food was fantastic. These are the kinds of things I worry about - we find a good place, serving good food, and then next thing I know the place is closed because people are too used to having some washed-up version of real food. Our total bill wasn't cheap - $150 - but it was so worth it.
So this morning, I baked my savory scones that I had prepped yesterday, post baguette. Great success - filled with bacon, garlic cheddar, scallions. Chilling the scones overnight in the fridge definitely did the trick, as the scones were so flaky and soft, they practically melted in my mouth. I've posted the recipe before, so I won't post it again. I am so making more this afternoon.
