Broiled Lobster Tails at Home

I saw these newly arrived lobster tails on sale at Whole Foods and I had to bring them home. The store prepped them for me so all I had to do was put them under the broiler and melt some butter.

Voila, dinner is served.

I served them with a bottle of Contadi Castaldi Rosé Franciacorta which is made from Pinot Noir which is known as Pinot Nero in Lombardy, a small wine-producing area in northern Italy from which this wine comes. The region is famous for its high-quality sparkling wines made in the same way as Champagne. The bottle of sparkling rosé was already in my house and was delicious with the meal.

The New Tasting Menu at March

Starting with the house vermouth in The Lounge March, Goodnight Hospitality's tasting menu restaurant, is marching into the new season with Greece as their latest culinary inspiration. March is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston for a fine dining experience. Though we do not have Michelin starred restaurants in Texas, this is certainly an establishment that would deserve their top ranking. The latest rendition of the March Martini.

Sculpted in Steel - A Luxury Automobile Showcase from the Art Deco Era

Whether you are visiting the city of Houston or live here full time, if you are a car lover, there is one thing to do this spring that is a must-do. Visit the Museum of Fine Arts Houston to check out the temporary luxury art deco automobile exhibit, Sculpted in Steel . I toured the display recently and was impressed by the array. This collection is a showcase of seventeen cars and motorcycles designed between 1929 -1940. These vehicles are more than art cars or show cars, they are true art deco masterpieces. The museum has great information about the period and designers throughout the exhibit. Go sooner rather than later, they will only be on display until May 30, 2016.
