Gorgeous Saturday Before Mother’s Day
Dane County Farmers Market – Madison, WI
Sunny and bright with the tulips in full bloom. The perfect day to hit the Dane County Farmers Market.
The vendors are back and so are the people. Early spring offerings include ramps and radishes. Which I will turn into a delicious Monday “Breakfast for Dinner”. (See my Egg Tacos)

Saturday Brunch at Sardine
Sardine – Madison WI – 617 Williamson St
For an upscale, relaxing brunch after the farmers market, the husband and I headed to Sardine. Not too far of a walk from the downtown action.
It was a gorgeous day so we sat on the patio overlooking lake Monona.
View from our table on the patio.
Monday Dinner – Jac’s Dining and Taphouse
Jac’s Dining and Taphouse – Madison WI – 2611 Monroe St
It’s only Monday, but the husband suggested dinner out – who am I to argue? (tee hee)
Since I got to choose, I picked Jac’s for Moules et Frites. Ever since last week and those yummy mussels at Merchant I’ve been thinking about heading back to Jac’s. We haven’t been in awhile. Let’s just say they did not disappoint.
Prince Edward Island mussels, simmered in garlic-chardonnay broth. With a fresh chunk of baguette for dunking and a cone of frites with a side of classic aioli dipping sauce. Since the cone is large enough for two be sure to ask for a second cup of aioli – so you don’t have to arm wrestle over it!
2019 Update: Sorry to report Jac’s is no longer in business. I fear the Monroe Street construction might have “done them in”. Let’s see if I can find somewhere else in Madison for mussels that can compare.

Delaney’s Steak Seafood and Wine – Madison WI – 449 Grand Cannon Drive
Second dinner out during Restaurant Week. Sadly disappointing.
Where to start? ….
How about the positives. Staff was friendly and attentive. Decor was nice. I really like the look of the wood, brick wall, pictures and light fixtures.

Madison Restaurant Week – Dinner at Merchant
Merchant – Madison, WI – 121 S Pinckney St
Enjoyed Merchant last night for dinner during Restaurant Week. $30 for a three course meal.
Started off with the Ricotta which was presented on a wood cutting board. Rich and creamy with a dash of chives sprinkled on top. The accompanying chilled blanched vegetables consisting of a heirloom cherry tomato, radish, carrots and green beans resting on beet greens gave the dish a pleasant addition. While the toasted Madison Sourdough baguette dipped in the Banyuls vinegar and olive oil added the crunch.
