It Bears Repeating?

Sometimes you have a meal where every single thing works. All flavors and textures combine and the result is total bliss. My partner and I had such a meal recently at our favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Front Street. A few nights later, I went back with a friend, and while the second meal was very good, there is no recreating a truly special meal. Perhaps that is why I cannot remember what my friend had. Or maybe it was the second bottle of wine that has impaired my memory!
