Prepoceros

Tonight my parents and I went out for a belated (to avoid the crowds) Valentine’s Day dinner at Cafe Rabelais (reviews) in Rice Village. Hoo boy—that thar was some good eatin’, lemme tellya.

I had a garden salad of tomato, cucumber, avocado*, egg, shredded carrots, and potato (no lettuce), and a crusty sandwich of roasted peppers and goat cheese. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty and much lovelier than the veggies I buy at the store**. And fries! In a paper cone! The fries were fantastic.

The tastiest, though, were definitely the tangy white dipping sauce that came with the fries and the dijon salad dressing. I don’t even like dijon mustard, but this stuff was delectable.

Bonus: Ordering two dishes means I’ve got a whole other meal ready to go for lunch tomorrow. It’s waiting for me in the fridge at work. Mmm, French food.

* I love avocado dearly. It might be my favorite food ever. Definitely top three. I didn’t think much about this salad before I ordered it, as it was the only item on the menu with avocado in it and thus the obvious choice.

** To be fair, I usually don’t get around to eating anything I buy at the grocery store (except ice cream, which I don’t buy any more for that very reason) for at least a few days, so this may not be the store’s fault.
