Peruvian Dinner
Dec. 13th, 2021 09:22 pmTo follow up on the noisy neighbors, the building manager sent them a letter. He told me that if it happens again, I am within my rights to call the police.
I had a very quiet day today. I spent part of it reading, part of it trying to deal with all the paperwork littering my house, and part of it napping. In the evening, I went out to dinner with a couple of friends - one local and one who’s in town for the World Science Fiction Convention which starts in a few days. On the way to the restaurant, I stopped at Nordstrom Rack and managed to buy a cute pair of pajamas. We at at Pisco y Nazca, which has excellent Peruvian food. I had a seasonal cocktail called El Pituco, which consisted of rye, apple cider cinnamon syrup, lemon juice, and fresh sage, followed by bistec (i.e. steak) con tacu taco. (Tacu tacu is one of my favorite Peruvian dishes - basically a rice and bean cake, that does a good job of soaking up juices of the main dish and accompanying sauces.) This was topped with lots of grilled onions and had a couple of moderately spicy sauces. For dessert, I had a dish called buenazo, which was essentially a brownie sundae, with kahlua chocolate mousse, candied walnuts, and lucuma ice cream. (I don’t know an English name for lucuma, but it’s a South American fruit.) Overall, it was a delicious meal and we all agreed we’d eat there again, preferably in the summer when it would make sense to try their ceviches.
