Journey vs. Destination

I don’t know if it is the exhaustion or beer talking because there is no plausible way that orange juice and olive goo can taste good together. And yet this salad with sweet orange vinaigrette and olive tapenade is sublime. I’ll be wow’ing folks at home with this. They’ll never suspect!

Traveling with C is not a journey of culinary delights. I love him very much but “picky eater” doesn’t begin to describe him. I’m mostly vegetarian (I’ll eat fish when I need protein or it looks yummy) but he’s a vegetarian with a strong dislike of vegetables, strange food, and uncooked items. We eat a lot of pizza and pasta, I don’t mind at all though I tend to eat more adventurously without him.

However, it was at Pizza Pi, a DC place that he found, that I had the orange and olive dressing. What he doesn’t like in variety, he makes up for in being able to find really good restaurants. He’s three for three on this trip.

Clearly, he’s choosing tomorrow’s eateries as well.
