i haven't forgotten you, but we're experiencing some growing pains with our blogger site, so we're looking for another home. i'll be able to post all the different meals from NZ once we have that up and running. in the meantime:
i'm going to jump ahead a few weeks here because this post has no photos. i know i know, this is a blog heavily weighted in photos but today i had a lot of other things on my mind and food was not 1 of them. for those of you dying of curiosity, matt and i had a concert at benaroya hall this afternoon but our call was at 10:30 this morning for our stage time. i was trying to make sure i didn't forget music and instrument and that we got there on time. so the camera got left behind.
however, for lunch we went to fonte, which we've eaten at before. it's been maybe a year or at least 6 months since we've been there. 1st thing we noticed is a couple tables were removed and replaced with coffee-table types and a couch. ok, makes since. something else that was new - breakfast is now being served all day. there are also quite a lot of new items on the menu, and something i really enjoyed is now off. alas grilled ham, cheese and caramelized onions i knew you well....
they have a nice selection of salads, pizza, sandwiches, and egg dishes, a couple soups and there might've been the odd dish type but i don't remember.
matt had the garde manger sandwich. it had some sort of charcuterie, peppers i think and something else on an artisinal bread. he was expecting it to be hot but it wasn't - not that that is a bad thing. he said it was pretty good.
i had the charcuterie omelette. when i asked what the charcuterie consisted of i was told they take some of all their meats and grind them together. so i'm thinking they make a sausage out of it and then chop that up and put it into the eggs. not quite.
they might grind it all up together but the consistency was more like a jerky that had been shredded. matt said it tasted like it had been left in the fridge a little too long. i admit it wasn't quite as good as i had hoped for. it was also extremely salty. i had 4 glasses of water just for lunch. overall as far as an omelette goes it was a nice yellow color - i like my eggs a little brown but all the chefs will tell you that's a no-no.
we shared a chocolate chip cookie and it was quite good.
so while it looks like a plus to have all those new items, some of them might be better off left off. only time will tell, and as fonte is still young i wouldn't be surprised to see a few more changes over the next couple years as they really find themselves.
