Week of progress, my favorite kind, incidentally.
The week started off on a very high note, with deliveries of Curious Elephant (their chili oil is a must, and we’ve already gone through half a jar in less than a week) and Blossom Honey (excellent if you’re looking for products without preservatives). I also received a box to cook Italian style couscous from Casinetto (if you’re ordering, use ATOZ to save 10% on your order).
By choice, I didn’t go out that much, but my visit to KoKo Bay was definitely worth the trip. Other than a bit of a strange parking situation, it’s a great spot, AND it’s dog friendly.

Next week already looks busy! I’m going to drop in to High Joint for their second anniversary (apparently, there is a ‘tasting menu’ involved). I’m also out to La Serre with the book club, and stopping by check out a special menu at BOCA.
