As I am writing this, it is raining and hailing outside ... and thunder?
Really missing having my windows open, but, it is only January.
On that note ... inspiration for the menus: hearty and savory.
Friday will start out with a hearty lasagne with traditional meatballs of pork, veal and beef, a very savory exotic fusion Thai-Mex dish of Sopes with shrimp and chipotle lemongrass sauce and Crispy Skin Chicken in fragrant curry sauce.
Saturday night features our Shrimp Rellenos from Oaxaca, a super Reef Filet with chili lime sauce and one of my favorites ... 5 Spice Chicken with rice and meat sauce.
Sunday night a birthday request, Pasta Carbonara con Gambero, *poof* ~ done.
~ Happy Birthday Lark ~
Also that night, a little "Thai-talian" fusion with our Shitake stuffed pork loin chop with citrus chili glaze and another Thai-Mex fusion of our camote corn enchiladas with grilled garlic chili glazed shrimp ~ which can be a vegetarian dish.
All and all, a pretty good mix for the weekend.
To the menus ....

* We are a small cafe and we highly recommend making a reservation.
We also offer a 5% cash discount to defray credit card processing fees. This helps keep cafe prices down*
We are an early cafe. That means alot of folks eat early.
If you are coming in later (7:00 or so) or just really want a certain dish, I might suggest you call and reserve your choice with your reservation ... as we DO run out of popular dishes early.
Just a helpful insider tip!
Our "Torte del Chocolate" . . . beyond decadent!
