So we went out to Milagro in Kirkland for dinner Monday night, the dining room is dimly lit but to my surprise the menu was easily read just a coincidence I am sure. The service was attentive and everything we ordered was simply delicious. We started with a bottle of Sauv Blanc and had the Ceviche app. Eating along with the wine it was incredible light simplistic clean and crisp flavors. The shrimp nor sea bass was overpowering and it went down very easy. We then got our entrees myself, I indulged in two of from what I can remember 10 different tacos. I had the beef tongue and the vegetarian. Now I have not had any tongue since I left culinary school so the flavors brought me back to charcuterie class. It was very fresh tasting (which concerns me when ordering organ meat as this is not the most popular). Braised perfectly and topped with just a sprinkle of perfectly small diced onions. The vegetarian one had butternut squash and cactus very carefully blended topped with a lime cream. Oh and the tortillas were outrageous! Made in house, the only way to go! I also had the Arroz verde, a green rice that is served in a small cast iron pot. although the rice seemed to be slightly overcooked. Lara got a salad (surprise) with fresh greens radishes and prawns while I am sure that it was delicious I didn't try it so plus Lara couldn't fathom eating the vinaigrette that came with it and instead doused the greens with salsa! We finished the meal with the mushroom quesadilla, of course it has shrooms also pressed within with the cheese was fennel it added a slight liquorice flavor but did no overpower the focus of mushrooms. Overall a great meal, and I look forward to returning again!

So this week I am going to make some savory scones bacon and cheddar to be precise. And maybe whip up few other things as well.
