House Calls

Last night we attended a special dinner at Gastown’s HousexGuest
(so pardon the late start – did we mention the dishes came with wine
pairings?). Everything was delicious, but the Winter Salad had a table
of 7 women going absolutely bananas, with more than one declaring it the
best salad in the city. What exactly is a winter salad? Only the most
delicious, fresh mix of mushrooms, beets, carrots, goat cheese,
hazelnuts, lettuce and wild herbs.

The Duck with Foie Gras was indeed delightful, but the vegan at our
table was served a cauliflower steak that had many of us considering
going herbivore (at least for a night).

Sorry for the lack of photos, but a real meal means dimmed lights and we
didn’t want to ruin the ambiance with a pesky camera phone flash. A
whole dinner with our phone safely tucked away in our purse – turns out
we can be a good house guest, too.
