onefixedstarOn Friday, we had some decent but not terribly special burgers somewhere in the entertainment district. (See? So forgettable I can't remember the name of the restaurant.) Afterwards, we headed over to Paramount to watch Revenge of the Sith, which was meh. The special effects were fantastic, as expected. The acting was mostly so-so, also as expected (although Jimmy Smits was somehow incredibly likeable). The plot was okay, but I really didn't buy Anakin's conversion to the dark side.
On Saturday, we went to Honey Kaffe, a lovely little French restaurant that actually uses cloth instead of paper while still maintaining relatively low prices. B had the French onion soup, which I tried and which was excellent. I've been craving it since then. I wanted to try making my own this weekend, but I didn't really think B would want another bowl quite so soon. Maybe I'll try making it next weekend. I'm lazy, so I'm going to try it with canned beef broth first, and if that doesn't work, I might try making my own.
Last night I made steak with a garlic/thyme/red wine glaze. The steak was tough, but the glaze was great, and the fried potatoes and roasted asparagus were also pretty tasty. Next time I'll try to get a better but of meat, or actually marinate the steak overnight.
Today it's back to work.
