rscJust to keep the record up-to-date.
Fromage d'Affinois
Kaasaggio Gouda "Originale"
French pork liver paté
Rack of lamb
Roasted fingerling potatoes with tarragon and paprika
Green beans sautéed with onions, mushrooms, and slivered almonds
Rosemary dinner rolls
Mixed green salad with mustard vinaigrette
Gravel Bar Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley), 2015
Chocolate truffle cake
"Rote Grütze" herbal tea
(The d'Affinois is a Brie-like soft cheese.)
This time I will not fail to record the cooking time for the lamb: 10 minutes at 450F, 25 minutes at 325F, and it came out perfectly medium-rare. I decided not to trust either of our instant-read thermometers, and just cut into it at intervals until it looked right.
The wine was nice, nothing special.
The dessert is the same one as we had for this year's Thanksgiving; it was good then, so why not?
A very satisfactory feast.
