We had a dinner and concert last night. Dinner was at Mossfire Grill, "a blend of New American and Southwestern traditions" is what the description is on the website. We have eaten here many times and usually get the fish tacos.
Chris went with "the usual" but when I saw the Yellowfin Tuna -Grilled, topped with cilantro pumpkinseed pesto, I immediately knew that is what I wanted.
The Usual. Tuna tacos ordered rare.
See that salsa there? OH MY. I ate three of those little cups.
Fire roasted tomatoes with a blend of seasonings that is pure perfection.
Our friend Lauren got the chicken quesadillas.
Another couple, Melissa and Jason got the beef empanadas.
The best part about this dish is the crispy, flakey exterior.
And here is my tuna with the cilantro pumpkin seed pesto.
Doesn't look too bad huh?....
....I was so bummed, it was a big disappointment! The best part about this dish was the black beans and rice and the cilantro garnish. In fact I stole everyone else's cilantro garnish to try and give my tuna and pesto some taste. It was so bland and boring. :( Not usual for this place so next time I'll be going back but next time I'll be trying the hummus on a flatbread.
Ben Harper Concert at the Florida Theater.
If you live in Jacksonville and like concerts I highly suggest going to the Florida Theater. It only holds 1900 people so wherever you sit you feel close to the artist.
The girls: Jen, Lauren, Melissa (a trooper at 23 months pregnant!) and me.
He played a lot of newer stuff but we stuck around to the end and were pleased to hear just Ben and his guitar.
I have some more photos to add later but I wanted to get our night posted so here it is!
