09.15 to 09.17 - A Perfect Complement

Do you know what makes me happy? Really happy? When I find foods that complement each other. Oh man. That is really the best. It's good enough to have an outstanding dish in front of you. Imagine how much better it would be if you had another dish that went perfectly with the other.

Tonight, I experienced just that. For our friend's 21st birthday, a bunch of us decided to splurge on some rib tips and potatoes au gratin. Who knew they would be so perfect for each other?! Not I! Not till I tasted the sweet, spicy goodness of the pork mixed with the salty, cheesy wonderfulness of the potatoes au gratin did I know. *mouth watering with memory* Pure deliciousness, I tell you. Pure deliciousness . . .
