Sunday is another B-day celebration. So far, the menu looks like
Crostini - not sure of the toppings yet, but probably Tom, Basil and fresh Mozz - maybe something with white anchovies if I can find them.
Empanadas - chorizzo and potato filling
Then a trio of ravioli
Lobster with a cream, cognac sauce over asparagus
Mushroom with a onion, butter sauce over arugula
Potato, leek and bacon in a tarragon cream sauce over carmalized leeks (but I may try grilling them)
If there’s a tasting at Susan’s (she’s off to Italy) this afternoon, we’ll have dinner at Andiamo afterwards. If no tasting we’ll have a late lunch at SantaCafé.
Tomorrow - TBD
Sunday afternoon - a Casa del Vino tasting of Meursaults with food at El Norteño in Albuquerque.
I’ve got a couple of Bryan’s Wagyu NY’s ready to go on the grill tonight. I was looking in the freezer this morning…I have a couple of short rib packages from Bryan in there that I may whip up on Sunday if I feel motivated to put that together. Couple of rib caps staring at me too…decisions, decisions…
I’ll be pulling something from today’s fedex delivery for tonight’s Stanley Cup final. Two packages (40 & 43 lbs) from our favorite butcher. There will be 5 of us. So I need to decide between rib cap, chateau brianne, hanger, ny strip or rib eye, something that will pair with the young bordeaux I plan to assault.
