Another Fab Weeknight Meal with Ruske









How much do we love Jen Ruske? Arriving in town on red eye from Vegas and straight to work, then long night of freelance Tue and festive dinner on Wed at Cafe Drake. We should all have JR's joie de vivre! In her infinite wisdom Ruske brought two lovely bottles ( New Zealand white and Argentinian Malbec), knowing one would never be enough for the both of us. We proceeded at Cafe Drake to dig into a tapas-style meal of Ginger Chicken Kebabs (recipe below), Jicama Salad (ditto), Rice Croquettes with Red Pepper Mayo and an herb salad of watercress, parsley, Thai basil and cilantro. After a full meal and digestive glasses of more wine, Cafe Drake and J Ruske did the only sensible thing for People Like Us and danced madly to Iggy Pop and Prince CDs . . . including the Taffy Pull, Kid N' Play, Sprinkler, Cabbage Patch and Running Man.

damn, i need a haircut. i can't wait to try and make those chicken kebabs. they'd better be as tasty as yours.
i just ran into martha in the elevator. i hope she didn't smell the wine and nicotine coming out of my pores. i had so much fun last night. thanks for being the consummate gracious and irreverent host.
