Dinner at the Glass Onion

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01296

Last week we tried to go for dinner at The Glass Onion but we did not have reservations and so we opted for the local Mexican restaurant. Today we made a reservation and went for dinner.

The meal was delicious. I got the Pecan Crusted Swordfish with Celery Root Couscous, Baby Carrots and Parsley Cream. Allison got the Seared Scallops with Bacon Braised Collards and Kale, Sweet Corn Polenta and Roasted Garlic Aioli. Both meals were excellent.

We did get dessert, too. Allison opted for the blueberry shortcake and I went with the Vanilla Crème Brûlée. They were both good but I would have liked the crust of sugar thinner and the custard a bit thicker. That is just how I like my Vanilla Crème Brûlée. It tasted great but the sugar on top was very thick.

When we got home we realized that we had not gotten a photo together so we went over to the beach and took the selfie above.

We were able to go to the Glass Onion because of the generous gifts that Allison received from her students this year.

The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
