Jack's Oyster House in Albany

Had the opportunity to dine there Monday night..always a favorite hang out for the pols in town, it hadn't changed much since I was last there a few years ago. Food was excellent and wines quite decent. I was part of a group that hosted a small pre dinner cocktail party and the passed hors d'oevres were tasty, elegant and interesting and perfectly sized for just a mouthful eg slivers of focaccia, very mini crab cakes, tiny tenderloin curls, peppered goat cheese on toasts and lightly wrapped shrimp cones !! MMMM.
Dinnner was a trio of snapper, scallops and shrimp perfectly prepared. Others who went with the rib eye steaks said they were out of this world. Can't wait to go back.

PS A companion had a chocolate dessert that was probably the best I have ever tasted although I shared a cheesecake with another companion that was very nice.

 

Medifast aka Take Shape for Life

For all of you out there who are battling to lose the extra pounds gained from over indulging during the holidays, please feel free to join me as I work off a lot more than holiday poundage on the above "diet". I joined up with this program after witnessing very dramatic results on several friends. Essentially you eat 5 of their "meals" and one of your own "lean and green" each day. The supplies can be purchased online at www.medifast1.com or at other retail outlets...eg I can buy the products at the Pine Pharmacy on Pine Ave in Niagara Falls. It is fairly simple and kind of a no brainer and the food is certainly OK. You should be able to find some things that you like and make you feel full. Not too pricey either.I'll keep you posted on my results, but I alread know that in just under 2 weeks, I have lost 5-10 pounds...without exercising !! Margy
