Three of us started the evening off agreeing that we were first in need of a drink. Wine was our goal, so we decided to stroll on over to D.B.A. on Wythe. This must be my lucky table weekend, because when we arrived there was one table left outside that was able to accomodate three people. Yes!
It was clear that a bottle of wine was necessary (also more economical than each ordering a glass).
more to come...

Mesa Coyoacan
good service. good food. laughably small portions.
This is a new Mexican place in Williamsburg. The L train to the Graham stop. Mesa Coyoacan quickly moved into the space formerly owned by Pampas.
We arrived at about 8 o'clock and were lucky enough to score the last available table. The service was friendly and helpful, even if we felt like we were being rushed a bit. Our waiter gave a wonderful recommendation for the beef (brisket?) tacos. The meat was deliciously seasoned and grilled. We also ordered the tamales appetizer. This plate came with three miniature tamales (chicken, fish, pork) each wrapped individually. They were so small that my dinner guest said the portions were "comedically tiny."
We were given not a moment between courses. Practically with the same motion our appetizers were removed and our entrees took their places.
For our entrees, we both had enchiladas (verde and mole). The mole had a rich chocolate flavor.
The food was delicious, but I left feeling a little hungry.

Today Biscuits
Sometimes when it is raining outside in the spring or when it's just a little bit cooler, I like to make biscuits to go with dinner.
Tonight I made some tasty adjustments to my normal drop biscuit. Instead of using white flour, I substituted wheat flour. I have noticed in the past that the wheat flour requires a little more liquid, so I put in just a little more milk - just a splash extra.
To this mixture went the usual: baking powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Then I looked a my little balcony garden and noticed that my new little rosemary plant had enough sprigs growing for me to cut one off. In it went! I had to throw in a handful of Parmesan after that.
Amazingly savory and delicious. A wonderful addition to a baked egg dish!
