I had crispy herbed pretzels and Adam had spicy chips. We shared some delicious Belgian chocolates!

We had some leftovers, so why not? 🙂

We enjoyed a late lunch/ early dinner at Cafe Lounge. It’s such a sweet cafe, we couldn’t resist going back.

Adam tried the coffee cherry drink. It tasted like coffee-tea, if that makes any sense. I had sweet vermouth with lemon.

We shared the cold cherry smoked rabbit terrine with crispy bread and cranberries. Wow! It was so good. Smoke escaped when we lifted the lid over the terrine- fun and delicious.

For the entree Adam had pan-fried duck breast with spinach, red bell peppers, and herbed polenta in a wine reduction. It was good, but he preferred my dish. I had the veal Saltimbocca with dried lemon, fried sage, and ultra creamy mashed potatoes. It was excellent. I especially loved the dried lemon slices. They were crunchy yet super fresh and zingy- the perfect compliment to the rich veal. I plan to experiment with dried lemon at home 🙂

After the Jewish quarter, we took a tram up to St. Vitus, because Mucha designed one of the stained glass windows. It was truly amazing! The most beautiful stained glass we’ve ever seen. I was moved to tears. Wish the pictures revealed its true light and color.

We picked up a snack on the walk down. Fresh raspberries and chips on a stick. Both were a little disappointing 🙂

As we’ve walked through Prague, I kept smelling the delicious scent if burning sugar- roasted marshmallow, creme brûlée goodness! I finally figured out what the sumptuous scent belongs to- Trdelnik. Thin dough cooked on a rolling spit over hot coals then rolled in sugar and cinnamon. Whoa baby! After our tasty snack we wondered through the Jewish quarter. Very interesting.

Simple and tasty. Strawberry Greek yogurt, toast with butter and salt, plums, and double espresso with steamed milk.

It was rainy all day today, so we decided to stay in, rest, and relax. We lounged, read, and watched movies all day:) Finally, we decided to get out of the house, at least for a little while.

We went just down the street to a Chinese restaurant- we’ve both been craving Asian food. Unfortunately, I don’t think our carvings were satisfied

We started with hot and sour soup-good. We also had the “fried crab” which we hoped would be crab rangoons- nope. They were battered, fried pieces of imitation crab, ew! Adam had vegetable fried rice and Sichuan chicken. The rice seemed greasy and lightly warmed. The chicken was primarily very salty. It lacked any real flavor. I had the chicken curry fried noodles. They were ok. A little on the bland side, but with some hot sauce they weren’t bad. To drink I had Coke. Adam had Kofola. Then we shared a Mattoni- sparkling mineral water.

Lesson: eat Czech food in Czech. It’s delicious.

We dropped Gary and Aimee at the airport this morning, so we skipped breakfast. We had yummy dinner leftovers, so I heated and served a lovely brunch when we got back home. Excellent!

Gary was in the mood for a burger, so I made open-face, Greek inspired burgers. I put lots of garlic and herbs in ground pork then pan fried patties. I served the burgers with a fresh salad of arugula and baby greens in a lemon olive oil dressing with roasted beets. Each burger was served with tzatziki, cucumber, onion, tomato, and kalamata olives.

I’m a really good cook 🙂
