Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, Michael Buble and Mohegan Sun...oh and Peas too! This made for an incredible night. I will be honest, as good as these beautiful Snap Peas and Pea Tendrils were, the highlight of my night wasn't the legumes on my plate. Michael Buble was even yummier looking and sounding then those veggies and took center stage for me. Dinner at Jordan's was delicious, as it always is, but it was exciting to find something somewhat unusual on the menu for my 365 Vegetables. These snap peas were offered as that evenings vegetable on the specials menu. I'm sure our waitress was wondering why I was asking so many questions about vegetables at a place that most people are quizzing her on the different cuts of steaks but she played along and was happy to humor me. She had to explain to me what the "tendrils" part of that evenings' veggie was. It sounded just unusual enough, so I ordered it along side at incredible piece of steak. As I sat there, with a great glass of red, enjoying my dinner and anticipating the concert, I realized something. A delicious main course, albeit, a New York strip or Cornish game hen, is only as good as the vegetables and sides to back it up. How boring would it be to sit there and chew on a piece of steak the entire dinner with nothing to compliment the flavor of the meat. It's the combination of the wine, the steak, the peas, the bread, that make the meal, the meal. It would be like listening to Michael Buble sing without a microphone and no band to back him up! Who am I kidding? I could listen to him sing in the shower...wait...yup that's sounds about right!
