the pass.

last saturday night, we were able to get out and celebrate jeffrey's bday with a DATE!  it is amazing how luxurious it feels to be out and about with just each other past 8pm.  we had the most outstanding experience at the pass.  it is a newish restaurant in houston that offers tasting menus with amazing flavor combinations and a playful execution.  i wish we had remembered to snap pics of all the dishes {jeff had 8 and i had 5} - but we only really managed to capture these two dishes. 

 crackling pig {pork rind} with caviar on a bed of freeze dried ingredients and a layer of creme fresh underneath.  it is intended to be eaten like chips and dip.  amazing.

   beet chocolate molten deliciousness with a citrus ice cream, fried phyllo dough and other goodness i can't remember.

it was an amazing night that lasted 3 hours {LOVE those long dinners!} - and if you are in the houston area - I highly recommend this place!
