Dinners
in June
So on Saturday we had market cod, asparagus (some from the garden) 
and a
wonderful salad. There were other amazing meals along the way, but the
next one I have
pictures of involved 
Rachael too 
and was a
version of 
Kit's corn
bread and southern fried 
chicken. Later in the week we
had a wonderful steak with marinated stuffed portobellos 
and corn 
on the deck. 
But the Big Deal was the Anniversary / Father's Day feast Kit planned
and executed (here's the working 
menu) with the
invaluable help 
of
the sou-chef 
Rachael. It
began with "Where you started"
-- an "update" of burgers, fries and a
shake that looked, in the event, like 
this, and was actually a tiny wild boar & tamarind patty with chipotle ketchup, sweet potato fries 
in a custom Rachael-made fry
envelope, and a 
buttermilk
chocolate shake with nutmeg. A bit later, the next course ("Where you've been") invoked three
places: 
Italy (squash & cottage cheese ricotta with walnut cream sauce),
Germany (weisswurst
in a
Riesling reduction) and Greece (spanikopita with a sun-dried tomato
sauce). Then it was "Where you are":
maple-Dijon glazed salmon, 
fiddlehead and mushroom
tartlet, and 
roasted garlic
mashed potoatoes with 
raspberry drizzle (in the shape of a maple leaf, natch). On to dessert:
"What's Next?" -- which
was a raspberry coulis question mark 
with fresh fruit, a bit of marzipan 
and some chocolate truffley things Rachael whipped
up. And, of course, 
cheese
and fruit. Happy Father's Day? Happy 45th Anniversary? Natch.45th?
Isn't that the dinner anniversary?
