We had the pleasure of dining at Starkers Restaurant on the plaza last night. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the butternut squash bisque. Before you die, promise you will make a pilgrimage here to try it. It's that good. I broke out of my usual routine of ordering scallops and instead selected the pistachio crusted lamb with a cherry gastrique accompanied by kale and pureed parsnips. I was quite satisfied with my selection. But the thing I keep thinking about is the drink I had to start the meal. With a name like this I am almost embarrassed to tell you about it. But tell you I must, because when you go I implore you to try it. It is the Libido Lifter. Made with Saint Germain Liqueur. I am going to have to pay someone off to get me the exact recipe. It's that or get a standing reservation for Tuesday nights and have them make it for me. Either one will work.
Looks like a lemon drop!

I'm sure Chris would sign on for a once a week at "Starkers". Do you realize how funny you are??? I'm not sure if we should all be privy to how this proceeds!

Sooooo, the big question: Did it work?
