House on Parliament really lives up to the hype. Incredible steak frites, super flavourful and beautifully cooked. Delicious compound butter and peppercorn sauce, and the fries were the ideal balance of crisp and soft. I split it with my husband and we also got a caesar salad, which was very tasty as well. Hugo spritz was delicious too. Hadn’t had a steak in a while and it felt well worth the price ($42). The space is also really nice - many different indoor spaces and two beautiful patios.

Wouldn’t have thought to try this place if I hadn’t seen it mentioned in here so many times, so thank you!

pasta shells with lots of olives + brine, pepperoncini + brine, olive oil, garlic, mini bocconcini, and lemon zest and juice 🫒🍸

pasta salad summer is here!!! kicking it off with dirty martini pasta salad🍸🍸🍸

recipe below but it’s definitely a measure with your heart kind of dish.

cook 500g pasta shells in well-salted water and strain.

while it’s cooking, mix the following in a large bowl:

~1 cup sliced green olives + many splashes of brine

~½ cup sliced pepperoncini + many splashes of brine

the zest and juice of 1 lemon

~⅓ cup of olive oil

1 grated clove of garlic

~1 cup of mini mini bocconcini

add the pasta to the dressing bowl and mix well. keep tasting and adjusting until it’s so good and bright and tangy and briny that you kind of can’t stop eating it. let it cool completely in the fridge for a couple of hours for maximum marination and flavour, mixing whenever you remember. add a few more splashes of pepperoncini brine and olive oil before serving.

p.s. in this pasta salad, cheap sliced green olives work perfectly (they’re the kind often labelled as pizza olives). save the castelvetrano olives for snacking or a cheese board! who has the time to pit and slice a million olives when it’s 25 degrees and sunny?! not me!! 🫒
