We had a lovely dinner tonight at a friend's home. It was nothing unusual,
but the execution was perfect and the food delicious. We had...

Caesar Salad (the real way)
Standing Rib Roast
Oven-Roasted Potatoes
Julienne of Carrots in a lightly honey-sweetened butter sauce with cayenne
Freshly Picked Green Peas with Fresh Mint
Fresh-Baked Parkerhouse Rolls
Choice of Chocolate Mousse Cake or Lemon Meringue Pie (both homemade)

An excellent cook to begin with, our friend recently completed a rather
grueling but enjoyable 24 months in culinary school. She will soon begin a
course there in advanced pastry making followed by advanced bread baking.

Her dinner choices were unrelated to her recent school experience, however,
she clearly has gained a wealth of knowledge and technique. Our
conversation about her experiences there was fascinating.

BTW, Michael, every time I see your name on a post, it give me a very warm

Sounds like an enjoyable dinner. Good food, good friends, who could ask for
more. Mine was sauteed salmon, green beens (fresh) almondine, cous-cous,
and fried bananas/rum.

Cheers!

Oh, that sounds delicious! I need to get some fresh salmon soon. I
haven't had fried bananas in years, but I love them. Bananas are on the
kitchen counter...I think they'll be on the table tonight!
