sex in the city

let me ask you...have you ever had food so good that it was more of a sexual experience than a culinary one? i just did...at a small, unassuming, elegant restaurant called Triomphe in new york city. i'm here for the weekend with susan, sunhee, mary and joo for mary's birthday, and tonite it was girls' nite out. we were planning on going dancing after dinner, but we were so spent from the decadent 6-course "tasting meal" that we just came back to our room. and when i say "spent" i mean as in, the exhaustion you feel after you've had a nite of extended pleasure...several hours of back to back raucous and slow romps in the sack...an entire morning and afternoon of lust. i know it sounds crazy, but i'm not exaggerating. allow me to describe:

1st course [kissing] - sardines on garlic toast with capers -- french riesling
2nd course [necking] - soup with pea stuffed wonton and white truffle oil -- sancerre (french sauvignon blanc)
3rd course [foreplay] - duck comfit with mushroom risotto -- australian chardonnay
4th course [climax] - seared scallops with porcini mushrooms and foie gras -- french bordeaux
5th course [second climax] - medium rare filet mignon with mashed potatoes and crispy green beans -- california cabernet sauvignon
6th course [final climax] - desserts: (a) poached pears (b) dark chocoloate truffle cake (c) date and polenta cake (d) bread pudding with nutella (e) dulce de leche creme brulee -- 2 muscats, late harvest zinfandel, banyuls, tokaji

it was obvious that we were enjoying our meals...we couldn't help but moan and groan and then laugh playfully at each other for our moments of ectasy. we made a few of the other patrons uncomfortable but we couldn't stop. we couldn't contain ourselves when the scallops came...they were perfect. have you ever made love and wanted to drink in every curve and muscle of your lover? explore every inch of his/her smooth skin? that's how it was with the scallops. we savored and lingered over each and every bite...trying our best to prolong the satisfaction. i'll post pictures when i get back home. but suffice it to say, after that meal we had absolutely NO energy to go dancing.

we are currently five very satisfied women.
