Well I should know better than to read this thread when I'm so hungry. All I know is that I need some serious red meat....and maybe salad. I guess I'm going out to eat. I've got nothing defrosted.

Oh my goodness! I had so much food tonight and it was all delicious!

Anyone who knows me will know that I love fresh creative and inspired meals. It's soul food! My boss gave me a ticket to a jazz event for Vday and it had fine dining included. Get this, you could request another dish if you really had room for more at the end. I had both desserts because I just couldn't choose! I made sure not to eat anything since breakfast to make room. The best part was that while it was fnie dining, it was still comfortable!

Maybe that was the 3 bottles of wine they had served with the 5 courses!

Here was the menu for the evening :

Starters (courses 1 & 2) soup and salad - Red coconut Curry bisque or sweet potato bisque w/maple creme crispy parsnip/pecan praline AND roasted beet salad w/ citrus vinigrette/goat cheese, candied walnuts & balsamic reduction

Choice of appetizer beyond soup and salad (course 3) : Oysters baked on the halfshell OR Roasted red pepper goat cheese dip w/ toasted pita

Main entrees (choice of beef or chicken) : Smoked baccon wrapped beef tenderloin OR Grilled serloin w/ 4 peppercorn demi glaze served with truffle mousseline potato & butter poached broccolini

Or the chicken selections : Organic raspberry & brie stuffed chicken W/ pomegranate reduction OR sundried tomato & sourbread stuffed chicken breast w/ charred pepper & garlic cream
Either of those were served with yukon gold potato and honey seared asparagus w/toasted almonds

The dessert? HEAVEN : Strawberry infused chocolate buttermilk cake with strawberry whipped cream, vanilla bean icecream & warm german chocolate
drizzle OR (in my case AND) Dark chocolate espresso cake w/ milk choc mousse & strawberry mint preserve.

I NEVER had a fine dining experience and even my closest experience is nothing in comparison to tonight! I will remember it for a long long time. The music was being played through dinner and I got to watch people dance between courses. It was absolutely wonderful.

tonight we made pork and veggie dumplings and chicken lo mein.

What are you having for dinner tonight?
