The Dining Experience...

Heather loves to eat, which is one of the many great reasons why we are friends, and the other night she asked for a "dining experience." With the economy what it is and not looking like it's going to get any better, it's hard to justify what it can cost to go out (especially when it's the two of us). And besides, with food like this, music on the radio, and the best table in the house, what can be a better experience than cooking a great meal at home to spend time with my friend and my puppy.


Appetizer: Sweetgrass Dairy Triple Cream and Bread


Tomatoes and Cippolini Onions and Sea Salt in Olive Oil: These just got roasted until we finished the first bottle of wine.

Chilean Sea Bass (sustainable, I SWEAR) poached in water with lemon, peppercorns and bay leaves over the roasted tomatoes and onions with spinach, white beans, and finished with lemon and basil.* Recipe for Tomatoes and Cippolini taken from Smitten Kitchen
