hiddenmuseMy hand is okay - no sprain or fracture, or anything, really. I was told that it was "bruised" - and that the only real remedy for it is ice, Advil and trying to use it. If that doesn't help - or it gets worse - within the next several weeks, I go back.
So far, so good. I've been able to use my thumb - although if it gets bent in certain positions, it does hurt. Otherwise, I'm just glad that all is well on that end. Hopefully I'll continue on this positive track - I really don't want to go back to the orthopedist.
In other news ... about a week ago, Kellie and I went out to dinner with a fellow sorority sister that had just moved to San Francisco, and that was a lot of fun. We'd taken advantage of the annual "Dine About Town", where some of the middle to higher-end restaurants offer a fixed-price (prix-fixe) 3 course dinner menu for about $32.00.
So, we went to the W Hotel's restaurant, XYZ, and had a great meal, with some firsts for me.
The meal started with an "amuse bouche" - basically a one-bite appetizer - of salmon with goat cheese, on top of a crostini. Really yummy.
Appetizers were a pickled beet salad or a crab arancini - I had the crab, but the beet salad was better!
We'd also had a bonus course of lobster tortellini or chicken foie gras - now, I can say that I had foie gras. And that it tasted kind of metallic-y.
The main course was tuna or pork osso bucco. The tuna was a bit over-cooked, and the osso bucco was divine, the meat was just falling off the bone.
For dessert, it was a choice between blood orange sorbet with vanilla frozen yogurt, or dark chocolate bread pudding with a banana cream sauce. The bread pudding was good - but I'd had a bite of the sorbet, and wished that I'd gotten that instead!
Good times.
Hope all is well for everyone reading this! :-D
