Went to Komi with some friends to celebrate Joe's new job and to see what all the hype is about. I'd never been to fancy dinner like this before so I didn't know what to expect. The wait staff reset our table like 8 times. And whenever someone got up to go to the bathroom, a waiter came by and refolded their napkin. 3 hours and 15 plates later, we were stuffed and happy. Thanks Joe and Nandy! Excuse the ugly iphone shot. No cameras allowed. Here's a quick rundown. I don't know any of the real names of these dishes. I'm so unrefined... 1. Puff pastry w/ cream cheesey topping and fish eggs - Brilliant! I want more. 2. 3 kinds of sashimi - Fantastic! 3. Raw scallops with truffle, served 2 ways - Blehhh, I've never liked shellfish. Raw, salty, and too fishy. 4. Diced smoked salmon w/ pine nuts - Good 5. Salad w/ a variety of tomatoes - Yummy 6. Fried liquid cube - Curiously divine. Fried on the outside like a mozzerella stick with spinach. Take it all in one bite and you get the soupy liquid on the inside. 7. Mini half smoke served w/ melon (pictured) - Love! One of my favorites 8. Date stuffed w/ cheese - A-MAZING! Never knew I liked dates. Tastes like a sweet potato. 9. Ravioli and cured duck w/ corn and peas - Not a fan, too rich and too salty 10. Suckling pig - Sweet and bacony and served with incredibily fresh naan 11. Goat shoulder - Surprisingly good. Tastes like barbecoa. Not gamey at all. (By now, comatose and ready for it to be over.) 12. Cheese served w/ something sweet - Just okay, stinky cheese 13. Caramel - Mmm 14. Deconstructed baklava in ice cream form - OMG wow 15. Mini donuts - A good way to end And passion fruit lollipops to take home. :)

protein bar, thawing water bottle (partially froze on the ride to work this morning) and a fancy napkin... 2010/05/05: Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Make a photograph of a yummy part of one of your meals today. #ds171
