Earl and I finally celebrated Valentine’s Day by going to Tim’s Too, a stir fry restaurant in downtown St. Joseph. It was delightful.
We’d been there before, but it had been a while. What we noticed back then was the closeness of the tables, the noise level, and not being comfortable with the idea that the guest is part of the meal.
By that I mean, the guest must choose the various ingredients in the stir fry by going through a line and adding them to a bowl. Sauces come next. They go in the same bowl. Then said guest decides what kind of meat, chicken, or shell fish will accompany the previously chosen ingredients. Guest also chooses if the final presentation will be a traditional stir fry, a wrap, or some other culinary arrangement.
We navigated our parts fairly well. I chose traditional stir fry items, while Earl ventured forth. I mean who pairs fettuccine with brown rice? We both added grilled shrimp to our concoctions and then returned to our table to enjoy the remains of our cocktails.
A hour or so later, we’d finished our drinks, eaten our stir fry, hadn’t really noticed how close the tables were, ignored the noise level, and had a great Valentine’s Day meal.
