Le Menu

I am the first to blog, with the line-up for tonight. Noted, the menu was based on the weather forecast, and --- and, I was betrayed. Not 89 degrees fahrenheit as promised, no, it is cool. Rainy. There is an overlay of clouds. Now, I don't mind that really. But we'll have to have summer in the brain, because we will have summer in the stomach. This menu required an astonishingly small amount of heat to produce, though I did use almost every appliance I possess, at least once.

Prelude: champagnes
(and they did a very nice ode to champagne. I'm sure it's a greatest hit, or will be.)

Snack: grapes, rolled in Oregon Blue cheese, and toasted almonds

Next: gazpacho with tortilla chips and bay shrimp

Next: green salad of mixed lettuces, with Fern Ridge herbed goat cheese, rolled in hazelnuts and baked until nice and soft in a balsamic shallot vinaigrette

Finale: Rum truffle cake and coffee for those who want caffiene.
