Just finished dinner at Verveine with my wife, t-bone and sugar shaddick. Not bad, not bad. Not as good as Crush, but I think it could be, in a non-Summerlicious capacity.

The cold pea puree: not stellar. The duck: very good. The dessert: basically a giant peanut butter cup. The ladies seemed to enjoy theirs. Port, merlot, coffee & Oban to finish up.

On another note, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the afore-mentioned shaddick, and I talked to her more tonight than I ever had before. It’s easy to see why t-bone and stanzi are good friends with her. She’s good people.

A good night with good company. I need more nights like this.
