I know it's getting warm when the Missus starts requesting certain places……and it's been warming up the last few days.
Thai Papaya:
**** Thai Papaya has closed
So, it goes like this. I get a text from the Missus, "can you pick up Thai on your way home tonight." It can only mean one place and She doesn't even have to tell me what to order. It's the Som Tom Khai Kem (papaya salad with salted egg), Duck Larb, and Issan Sausage.
As it always is and has been.

Et Voila!:
Another favorite of the Missus is Happy Hour at Et Voila! So, with things warming up and both of us getting a home a bit earlier than usual we headed over.
And got our usual.
Sadly, that Huckleberry Bourbon, which used to be a HH favorite and used to be $7, is now $11, and tasted watered down….looking nothing like what it used to back in 2018.
Everything else seemed a bit different and we didn't enjoy it as much as we used to.
The Beignets de Champignons was nicely fried, but very salty.
And the Raviolis de Champignons way too sweet.
After not enjoying that Huckleberry Bourbon (my good FOY "YummyYummy" had warned me that the drink seemed a bit watered down over her last couple of visits), I ordered the Tequila Mockingbird, which I enjoyed; especially since it wasn't too sweet and there was a nice bit of savory heat from the Habanero Bitters.
It was quite telling as we walked to our car….the Missus told me, "I think we're done with Et Voila for a while".
Et Voilà!
