Anyone feeling adventurous? This was our menu for my Birthday dinner last night at Smyth in downtown Chicago.
I've ALWAYS wanted to try a Michelin Star restaurant; this place just got awarded their second star for 2018 so we snuck in before they got more expensive and with crazy lead times for reservations. What a treat it was! Very casual and comfortable atmosphere with exceptional service. I will say... the first course... I wasn't a huge fan of. It tasted like a mouthful of sea water. Also, the elk yolk soaked in salted licorice almost made me gag (I HATE licorice) but the mousse it came with was delicious and the aged ribeye basically changed our lives. We didn't do Christmas or birthday gifts this year so this was our splurge.
My sister got me this candle for Christmas right before Tobers passed so I lit it yesterday for him.

The dishes look delightful on the site. I love when flowers are incorporated in the plating. First time I tried oysters I definitely understood why people say they taste like the sea. Kinda weird but then it grows on you lol. I find they are the best with lime juice and cayenne.

I LOOVE me some raw oysters and their saline bite (a Food Safety Specialist who eats everything raw and rare
) but there was just something about this dish... salted radish and apple slushy, picked oyster, seaweed... it was a bit too oceanic? Not in a good way. Feel better @AresMyDobie !

That's the problem with Michelin star restaurants. Sometimes they are too experimental and it might not work out for everyone.

Thank you
For the love of all things, please say you're under a Drs care for it? Kidney infections are freaking brutal. And if you start feeling worse or having flu like symptoms, get your ass to an ER pronto. Not to be a fear monger, but a kidney infection is what put me into septic shock years ago and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

I LOVE seafood, yes raw oysters and steamed clams are my favorite. In the swamp our preferred method is slapped on a saltine with hot sauce.
I will second kidney infections are so serious, sickest I've ever been in my life. Had 105 temps and couldn't move out of bed for two weeks, lost a lot of weight too.
Took a few photos of the boy and the quackers. Easy discovered she can see herself in my truck reflection.

Yes please go in if anything changes since it can be extremely serious. I'm guessing you've already been in once to get the diagnosis but it's something to keep an eye on.Thank you
Oh don't worry I'm being watched carefully and have already started my antibiotics, I've been flushing my body with organic cranberry juice and water and tea. I've been monitoring my temperature so far no spike which is great ! Not feeling the best but a lot better then I was
And trust me Ive been freaking out .... I hate the hospital but if I have any changes I will get my ass straight over there I'm just praying I don't have too ! I caught it early
I'm hoping to go to work tomorrow
Brinks is beautiful!!
From someone that absolutely HATES going to a Dr. let alone a hospital, take care of it now! I spent over a week in the hospital last year and had to have surgery. It was touch and go there at one point. I was air lifted out because it became so serious. Don’t ignore this.
I'm not
