It was The Pastry Chef's birthday on Saturday, and she treated herself to a delightful birthday week. Conveniently, it coincided with Restaurant Week in NYC, so we went to Artisanal on Tuesday, and she went to Scarpetta Wednesday, coincidentally the same day Bruni reviewed it in the Times. Her's her take:
Thanks PC!
"It was very good. I had an amazing cold pea soup with crab meat. Ilene had this amazing polenta with truffled mushrooms poured over the top. She let me sop up the rest of the mushroom juice with bread, and I literally swooned a little.
Then we shared a dish of tomato basil spaghetti, which was very good. Then, Amy had the veal, Ilene had the chicken, and I had the goat. They were all good, but I liked mine the best.
The desserts were alright. Amy had a chocolate parfait, with a very good hazlenut milkshake. Ilene had a apple tart with polenta crust which was very good. And I had this key lime cheesecake thing, which was just okay.
It was a very good meal. I highly recommend the polenta and the pasta dishes. I want to go back to try more of those."
Thanks PC!

This makes me sound like a terrible writer. Can you post something that mentions this was just a quick e-mail that I shot off and not actually an official blog post that I wrote?
Also, scarpetta also means the piece of bread that you use to sop up the leftover juices on your plate. I find this especially appropriate, as that was the high point of my meal.

To my other readers, please see above.
My apologies, PC. You are an excellent writer, and I did just cut and paste your email into the blog post.
