Day 259: Back to Life, Back to Reality

After three straight days of vegetarian dinners (what???), life finally returned to normal tonight.  We dined at Isa, one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants, which specializes in small plates.

Mostly, we ordered our favorites:  tuna crudo, arugula salad, pan seared scallops, baked Laura Chenel goat cheese.  The new item we tried tonight was from the specials list:  short ribs with mashed potatoes, carrots, and broccoli (pictured).  It was too rich for my blood, especially after three nights of veggie dinners, but it was nice to try something new.

It looks like life has returned to normal.  Meat and fish were on my plate tonight!
