D: Sweetie, I have to tell you something. I mean, I don’t even know how to organize my thoughts. I mean, It just kind of happened. And, it’s been so long- do I even have to tell you about it? I know we have a full disclosure policy, so… here it goes. I went to The Spice without you. Okay, I spit it out. Not that I wanted to. I mean, it was SO good! Claire and I had such a wonderful time. There. I said it. And with that disclosure policy, I’ll have to show you some pictures.

Here’s the bread. Just as you remember it, probably.

This is the appetizer I got. I couldn’t have the Caprese that was supposed to have come out instead, so I asked for the salmon substitution. They were quite nice about it, actually. It wasn’t the best salmon I ever had… but the Mascarpone mousse was .. yum.  Claire stuck with the Caprese salad, so I photographed it for you.

Doesn’t it look really good?  I was definitely jealous- but you already know about my intolerance to tomatoes.  So I stuck with the milder and less acidic things.  Like their sweet potato bisque.

It was quite soothing.  Creamy.  Soft.  Comforting and warm.   Which was followed by a fish that was perfectly cooked.

There’s all that espuma that he likes to work with.  But… that’s fine.  Necessary distractions.  Unlike…

I mean… what the hell was the pastry chef thinking?!  This looks like an obstacle course for a family of ants!   But… the chocolate.. sour cherries and raspberry jellies were flavorfully well combined. Looks can deceive.  Quite well.

I didn’t have the heart to rate the place without you…양심은그레도나마있읍니다! so I snapped a shot of the tea we had instead.

I hope you’re not too angry about all of this.

But, all I have to say? A girl’s gotta eat, even when her man is 6K miles away!
