Home and away games

Regular reader Basil reports in. Basil is missing Belly Boy, as are we.
But we welcome the picture above, of a home creation, and, below, of a favorite dish at Lulav.
Basil writes:
The first two are pics of a baked brie salad I modified from a version I had at Vermillion. Pipping hot brie with sweet cranberries in phillo dough... yum. Served it with some prosciutto, spinach leaves, and Chateau aux Arcs's Red Zin. Usually I hate all Altus wine-- it all seems to taste like muscadines, but this was alright.
The latter is an old photo of the $8 Coconut encrusted calamari @ Lulav--best I've had in LR and not all that expensive in comparison. Also in the photo, an old appetizer they've discontinued -- fried polenta. They have an $18 cheese platter I ordered with a girlfriend a while back that's gotta take at least 6 people to finish, but we tried our best -- probably 6 to 8 different cheeses plus almonds and figs.
I went there last night pre-Rep and remebered I had this pic. They've got a great little business and the owners are generous, gave a huge donation to my org for a silent auction.





Comments
I second the comment on Chateau Aux Arc's Zin. It is a very nice wine I'd drink anytime. Lulav stuff looks great too. I always forget about them.

I did Lulav last night. Side salad, a side of asparagus and coffee totaled right under $20. Ouch! Except for the asparagus, that would be $2 for dollar menu items at Wendy's. Atmosphere was great and Lucious Spiller was strumming in the background. But DANG! NINE dollars for some sprigs of asparagus! Then the waiter "helpfully" split the wine and appetizers among all of our bills. Except two of us don't drink and didn't eat appetizers. Waitron needs to be a little less helpful with guesstimates.

Lulav can be pricey, you just gotta know what to go for...
Their lunch menu looks great but I've yet to get there before five.
BTW, the bartender, Matt, makes an awesome dirty martini...
