Restaurant Review RWI at Caperberry

[morethansalad]

Arugula and Caperberry Pizza (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

[love-everyone]

“Sicilian rose”.

Juicy heirloom slices with salty caperberries and shallots in a pool of amazing olive oil. All soaked up with some crunchy sourdough slices. Link

[liefst]

woke up, made tea and got back into bed. made brunch with smoked salmon and caperberries on toast. new book from the library. bought myself the luxurious cotton felt instead of the cheaper synthetic one. cooked mushroom sauce with onions, juniper berries, bay leaves, black pepper and red wine. little december luxuries 🌟❄🤲🏻🍷

[hearts-hunger]

okay but the real dark horse in the pickle/olive discussion is the beautiful caper and her more elusive sister the caperberry. please tell me you guys have heard of/eaten at least one of these.

El Meson- How to be Spanish

The soul of Spain in the heart of Santa Fe, El Mesón has been serving locals and visitors for almost twenty years. Born in Spain to a Spanish father and American mother, Chef Huertas, opened El Mesón in 1997 to bring the old-world Iberian cuisine and Andalusian family traditions to the City Different. El Mesón offers two dining options. The full menu is offered in El Comedor, or Dining Room. Large oak tables with soft lighting set the stage for your meal, surrounded by reproductions of classic painters, with the strains of Spanish guitar accenting your palate’s Iberian journey.

On the other hand, if you are in the mood for something lighter and livelier, you will find it in the ¡Chispa! Tapas Bar. Reminiscent of an Andalusian patio, this room features Tapas and Live Entertainment. From Tango, to Jazz, to Flamenco there is a beautiful stage showcasing some amazing talent! We offer a full bar, and Santa Fe's best selection of Spanish Wines and Sherries. ¡Hasta pronto!

Escape to the Great White North - Day 2

Port of Call - Newport, RI

We were awakened around 6:30 a.m. with what we thought was the anchor being dropped, but later realized it was the "tenders" being lowered. This means the ship doesn't dock-- you get on a much smaller boat and ride in. 

We ordered room service for 8:00 a.m., as we were hoping to get into Newport as early as possible. We almost gave up on room service around 8:30 and were getting ready to find food, which is of course when they showed up. We ate it on the balcony--a little scanty but good.

The tender process went smoothly--they really pack you in them.  It's the nautical equivalent of a clown car.

A meandering ride later, we landed in Newport, RI.  It's basically split into historic (pretty and vibrant) and touristy (loud and crowded).

The former included a well maintained historic museum--they manage a number of local buildings.

Off to the bus for a tour of historic mansions--The Breakers and Marble House, both built during the "Gilded Age" by the Vanderbilts.  Obscene excess?  You got it.

We had a very entertaining guide on the bus named "Huw"-- a proper British gentleman. His only problem was that he didn't enforce the "we're leaving without you if you are late" bit. So we had to wait quite a while in line to get back on the tender.  They did hand out hot towels and hot chocolate though. An enterprising guy rolled up with a lobstah roll truck.

We managed to make it to the ship before it headed out. A quick shower later, we went to one of the "specialty" (aka not complimentary) restaurants. Our cruise package included two of them, one of which was Moderna--a Brazilian steakhouse.  You start with a high-end salad bar (caperberries, lobster bisque, etc).  Then it's time for meat, in multiple varieties, brought on long sticks to your table, until you tell them to stop.  One of the options: roasted pineapple, something I would normally avoid.  I had two helpings.

Other options: filet mignon, flank steak, top sirloin, parmesan crusted chicken drumettes, lamb top sirloin, pork loin, Brazilian pork sausage, pork belly, and one we did not try, bacon-wrapped chicken breast.

And then dessert, which is putting a hat on a hat.

We also had the signature cocktail, which was the caipirinha, plus a glass of wine.  It was two more drinks than I would normally have.

We had planned to do more activities that night, but between the drinks and the meat coma, we were bushed. Not even a walk on the outside deck could stop the yawning.  Off to our room to crash!

Tomorrow--Portland (the Maine version).

Smoked Salmon Pasta For Messy Bitches

Diced onion, chillies, garlic & lemon zest

(Pls excuse fucked up chopping board & strawberry jam)

Cook in olive oil until soft

(I'm using buckwheat pasta because my mum turns up for dinner sometimes & gluten will wreck her day)

Splash of whatever you're drinking (this is organic apple cider but a dry white will work very well. Don't use red unless you want pink sauce. Which you might. I'm not ur dad.)

Hot smoked salmon & chopped caperberries because I forgot to buy normal capers

(I guess you can sub chicken or bacon or whatever if you don't like fish)

Cream. Also at this point you can whack in salt, pepper, oregano, marjoram- fuckin whatever, follow ur heart.

Chuck in that pasta

Coalesce every bit you left out

to form your new heart

as deer fawn and fall away

The dearest land of harts collapse

to belch smog and steam

go and take back our bones

Blackened in the eternal furnace

everlasting vortex of magmatic

Convection of the soul

conviction turned to rot

was deaths master mold

-ed in the putrefaction?

The End we once subsumed

Has gripped our imperfections

now with these hands a steady blade

will debride our necrot-nectar

and give us once again

The ambrosia of caperberries shorn

By bloodstained swords

Mouldered in our words

Magnetic force of social mores

Panopticon of self

look deep within, the future lies

Buried in common wealth

Or so they say, whilst splitting limbs

of giants and the fenn and fog

Bog of treasures hid deep within

the aesthetic of the age

peaked in the peat of our

Sierra / Madre

Stabat / Mater

System / Managed

Sado / Masochism

Selective / Memory

Science / Math

Dolorous / Reclaimed

Offset your own demise

of setting sun fixed twixt

the burning earth and sky

ashes to at

Most spheres we wrought

at the accounts

Of Memories lost

count them all

what we've lost

bit mouldered to rot

Karyolysis of man in

persistent memory

D/oN/otA/llow it

to R/eachA/llM/embers

of our shrinking time

here in the sun

That wishes to kill our

ignominious lights

We cast at it

in our hubristic spite

spit it out, death to life

And speak no tech

The telephone line to your soul

was severed at the source

Codes stored in repose

and stories that left no doubt

That you were to blame

for why we know now

That we ripped out our own teeth

and eyes, and ears

so that we could think more

clearly

Clarity that clarified

Our rendered

carcass of the icebreaker event

swinging on the chains of corporate management

In the walk in oven of the corner stores

hellish frozen in its grin it made

in its payroll front end barbarianshop

dearest to my desires

Now

As time explodes

Will we ever be sorry for the things we've done?
