Five Horses

Last night [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom and I had a lovely dinner and drinks with [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine and [livejournal.com profile] vanguardcdk at Five Horses, a new upscalish restaurant in Davis Square that [livejournal.com profile] pheromone and Dreaming had introduced us to. It was Yum! Mee! And the company was excellent. Was great to get some catching up — I hadn’t seen [livejournal.com profile] cathijosephine in a couple weeks, and while I see [livejournal.com profile] vanguardcdk on a fairly regular basis, it’s nice to get to sit and have a relaxed chat.

The food was, well, “spectacular” would only be a very slight overstatement. I think “superb” is the right adjective. I love that place. It’s yuppified comfort food. They have bread and butter on their menu — bread and butter — and yes, it’s definitely worth the $4 or so, at least if you like the flavour of goat milk. My Kentucky-fried Cornish game hen (with jalapeño mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese flavoured with pork belly) was as yummy as it was last time, and we all had lots of appetizers to share. And the Old Fashioned I had was very good, very mellow.

And when we got back to [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom’s place (also [livejournal.com profile] vanguardcdk’s place) she and I put some fruit to drying overnight in her food dryer, so we each have snacks for work today.

Anyway, there’s this morning’s effort at approximating a post a day for a while. :-)

I like that place, despite the plaid flannel wearing hipster waitstaff.
