Weekend Chef
So, I'm somewhat lucky to work for a financial firm in that we have Friday off. Steph and I are using this opportunity to go down to NYC. Now, I'm a pretty big fan of the food network and one of my favorite chefs is Bobby Flay. While we are down in NYC we are going to hit a couple nice restaurants and one of them is owned by Flay called Bolo. His flagship restaurant Mesa was pretty much booked all weekend so I thought it'd still be nice to try out one of his restaurants. This was somewhat of a spontaneous trip and thus a lot of places are booked. Mario's restaurants were booked solid as were Jean Georges (well…unless we wanted to eat at 11pm)..thus I decided to take a look at the NY Times to see what I could find. What I found was one very interesting looking French Restaurant named Cafe Boulud. Looks like it'll be a fun time…though I won't be doing much cooking until Sunday.
I'm thinking we might do a leg of lamb for Easter supper along with some sides. Nothing is final…but it should be a really fun time as I've never cooked a leg of lamb before! That said, I can't wait to get dolled up and try some new restaurants this weekend after visiting some museums 
Think I can sneak my camera in?
By the way…check out the Lasagna my wife made with the left over Ricotta/Sauce! This is the sort of thing that I'm not quite good at (yet!). When I saw the left overs…I really wasn't sure with the leftovers, but my whirling dervish cooking wife went right away to the cupboard, pulled out some noodles and went to work. I have to say it was super yummy and I contributed by making the sauce/cheese mixture and getting outta our kitchen!

Have so much fun this weekend! I am jealous – the NYC restaurant scene is fantastic. I am curious about Bolo – we will be in NYC for a wedding over Labor Day weekend, and although we won’t have dinnertime free, if they’re open for lunch, it might be a good option. So let me know!
