Easter Book Hunting + Ad Hoc

8 04 2010

Instead of hunting for eggs, I was hunting for books this past Easter weekend…books that were hidden right under my nose.  Someone’s sneaky-sneaky!  These were what I found:

books galore

And it so happened that we were going to eat at Ad Hoc on Saturday….

so I got this:

autograph of Chef David Cruz

Apparently, Chef David Cruz still thinks we’re in March.. LOL.  Regardless, I’m grateful he signed it!    ^___^

simple sign...love it

The food was okay.  Here was the menu:

Menu for 4/3/10

The duck breast was pretty large, but was really tough to cut.  I got a nice arm workout trying to cut it into pieces.  Is this normal of duck breast?

Liberty duck breast + farro

The farro however was mighty tasty, especially with the tangerine.

broiche + apple butter + tarentaise

The brioche was definitely a rich man’s brioche – the butter was literally oozing out of it and the apple butter helped cut the fatty-ness.  Tarentaise is probably the hardest cheese I’ve ever had.  Not really a favorite of mine.

tres leches cake + coffee

The dinner however end well with the tres leches cake.  We ordered coffee as well and it paired really nicely with the sweetness of the cake.  YUM.
