Dinner chez Dick and Susan

We had a great dinner last night at Susan and Dick's place in Canyon Sands.  Wow…what a spiffy place and great for wine lovers with a wine fridge and various wine decor.  Very upscale….granite counters, great furnishings.  The grandmother bought the place when they first came on the market in the 70's and the families live in California and use it themselves and rent it out as well.

They had bought a "tri tip" roast from Trader Joe's and it was excellent.  I've often seen this cut of meat but hadn't ever tried it.  And also tiramisu for dessert.  As I was looking for an image of the TJ's tiramisu I came across a blog called "What's good at Trader Joe's"….great idea!  Will make good reading.  I did read a review on the "poutine"…3.5 out of 10.  Is there such a thing as a good poutine?  Our one and will be only experience was pretty awful.
