Any old Friday

I apologize – I am remiss in my food reporting duties here. I totally forgot about the culinary highlight of the weekend…

R bought lobster tails Friday night – hooray!! We met at the Milwaukee Art Museum Friday afternoon after work to check out the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit as this was the last weekend of the tour, and he swung by the Milwaukee Public Market on his way to pick up the frozen delicacies. These he steamed and served with drawn butter (because really, what is lobster without the clarified butter?), then concocted another fantastic batch of his mushroom risotto. But what catapulted this risotto into stratospheric status was the topping – homemade bacon! Yes, R now makes his own bacon too. If you’re interested, he is cataloging all of his charcuterie endeavors in a new blog, TinySausage.

We paired 2 great bottles of riesling with the meal, but unfortunately I didn’t take note of the names.

Completely unrelated to our magnificent regular ol’ Friday night meal, check out this bloody mary! It’s from INdustri Cafe in Walker’s Point. I’ve never been there, but since garnish is my favorite part of a bloody, I will definitely be going to get one of these! Is that a block of cheese on top?? ::i die::
