Our restaurant of the month for January was a little Italian place called "Patrizio". It's in a cute outdoor mall called The Shops at Highland Village just up the street from where we live. We walked in and all the decor was black and white. It looked very fancy and romantic. We were seated right away and given menus. They had a good list of wines, but we didn't order any. We looked over our menus and decided since I still didn't really have an appetite, we would just share an entree. I of course let Cody pick. He basically opened the menu read all the options, closed his eyes and pointed. He ended up ordering "Conchiglie Con Spinaci". The description read: "Shell pasta tossed with spinach, smoke bacon, sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil in a robust alla penne sauce." Essentially it was shell pasta with bacon, spinach in a sun dried tomato sauce.
I quite enjoyed it, not the greatest meal I've ever eaten, but it was good. It was definitely something Cody would NEVER order, but he did. And guess what? He ate all of it. All of it. I asked him what he thought and he jokingly said, "It's better than your cooking." In all seriousness he didn't love it nor would he ever order it again, but he is committed to his goal of trying new things. I'm proud of him and I get to try lots of new thing in the process, which makes me a happy girl. Overall I say we are off to a great start with our New Year's resolution.
Stay tuned for next month's restaurant of the month!!
Have you ever tried something new and discovered it to be your new favorite food?
