Ikea Treasures

Our $2 milk frother still works (I even almost made whipped cream with it once but I almost killed it then). Cheapo gadgets. Boiled potatoes & swedish meatballs with bad gravy and yummy lingonberry sauce in the cafeteria. What's not to love?

Two new Milford CT rests: Bin 100 and Bridge House

Recently had dinner at Bin 100. Could hardly beleive how the old yoga studio was transformed. They did a great job with the space. Off to a great start with gracious and attentive service and OMG an amuse! I Kept elbowing my spouse exclaiming "I can't beleive we are in Milford!" Our amuse was one of those little fried risotto balls (don't remember what they are called) on a little pool of creamy red sauce. Ciabatta-like rolls were served with a flouish and flavored butter. When our rolls were replentished we were served more butter without having to ask. Arugula salad with pears and lemon marscapone dressing was nice and some interesting pork (I think) egg rolls with a great jicama/avacado slaw were winners. For an entree we chose an "open face lasagna" which was reminded me of a pizza but my sweetie liked it. I had a roasted chicken that was tender but appeared "grilled" not roasted and a lime marinade/sauce was a little over-limey but chorizo mashed potatoes were a nice foil for the chicken. The grilled asperagus (sp?) was yummy. Desserts looked great and we went for the churros- yum! Coffee service was nice and the dessert Martinis actually looked sort of appealing. Great service (a "napkin-fold" as well...) and a tasty inventive menu. We will be back. I want to try their short ribs (they weren't on the menu that night...)
