Jardiniere
Tonight I went to Jardiniere on Grove Street. My coworker Patrick was invited to a dinner hosted by Wyeth for a teleconference about a new drug called Relistor, a drug for opiate induced constipation. Anyways, so he invited me too and I figured I should start learning about US drugs again plus it’s hard to pass up a free dinner.
The dinner was a 3-course meal with three choices for each course. For an appetizer, I had the salad.

The vegetarian risotto. The foamy stuff around the risotto was interesting.

Ricotta cheesecake with raspberry sorbet. The cheesecake was nice and light.

The teleconference started around 7pm. It was pretty interesting as they used their cell phones to dial in to the conference and then used a bluetooth speaker device to broadcast the lecture in the room. Cool technology these days.
Only medical professionals can have dinner while listening to a talk about constipation…
Brother’s Korean BBQ
We enjoyed some good Korean BBQ with our friends Susan & Ken. We
attempted to go to Brother’s Korean BBQ on Geary Blvd. The original
restaurant is #4128 and it was packed! There were groups waiting
inside and waiting outside. By the whiteboard where you sign your
name and the give the number of your party is this small white sign
that says they have a restaurant down the street at #4014 if you want
faster service with the same great food.
We smelled totally like charcoal and meat when we left the restaurant
but we left happily stuffed.
We ordered the soft tofu soup. It wasn’t very spicy but had lots of
ingredients and a good soup stock. Sorry the photo is a bit fuzzy,
it’s my cell phone camera.
We also had the kalbi and bulgogi. The guys helped to cook a yummy meal.
They threw in a complimentary plate of spicy squid. This was pretty
good, sweet and spicy.
We had soju and beer to top off our meal, the best accompaniments to our meal.

Tiffany & Alex’s wedding at Crow Canyon Country Club
We made it just back just in time to be part of Tiffany & Alex’s wedding. This morning we were to arrive at Tiffany’s mom’s house in Concord by 1pm so I was frantically trying to figure out what to do with my hair. Ron helped me with my hair and I think he did a pretty good job. He’s for hire if you need help 🙂 Check out the photo below.
After we arrived at her mom’s house, before the guys could come in, we made the guys do some door opening games. Alex had to announce what he loved about Tiff, transfer 8 M&M’s in 8 seconds from one bowl to another with chopsticks, and sing a song to Tiffany’s satisfaction… they sang “Say a Little Prayer” by Dionne Warwick… “the moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup”… can you imagine 6 guys singing at the top of their lungs??
They had a tea ceremony with the family before heading to take some photos at the Bollinger waterfall and then heading to the country club.
The wedding ceremony went off smoothly, none of us tripping or falling on the long walkway. Then we headed into the reception. Tiffany warned us the day before that each bridesmaid/groomsmen couple had to do a little dance to a random song as we entered the dining room. It was a bit embarrassing but my partner Patrick suggested we do “the robot” which I don’t think I did very well but at least could fake. Man, so nervous!
It was a fun reception but we were still a bit hungry, so afterwards, a bunch of us had In-n-Out for a snack before calling a night.
Congratulations Tiffany & Alex!
Kincaid’s Bayhouse
Tonight we went out with Ron’s family for a dinner to celebrate all our birthdays for the next three months. Since everyone will be busy, they wanted to have one big dinner in case we didn’t have time to celebrate during our actual birthdays.
The rib eye is better than the prime rib. The crab cakes were really good. The drinks were unique, I had a lavender martini!
