100th post! Carrots and Spontaneous Foodie Club.


It was an awesome week of carrots and delicious food. We had a planned yet spontaneous dinner club this week. There was a feast of: lamb shanks on baguette with goat cheese, (more) lamb with linguine and pesto, roasted home grown carrots with lemon and kalamata olives, a salad with lettuce from the garden, fried speck, walnuts and croutons, and anchoiade and baguette. I didn't get a picture of the dessert but it was fab-o. Sean made an apricot custard that was really tasty. We ate outside because the weather was great and ended the night around the fire. Thanks friends for a fantastic evening!




First carrots of the season! There are plenty more where that came from.


Thinly sliced speck that was crisped up later on.


Depal assembling is lamb masterpiece.


Ta Da!


Roasted carrots. Mmmm...


Anchoiade with baguette. Sean wanted to drink this with a straw and I have to say that I might agree with him.






Deelish...

Saturday night feast


Our six month anniversary of Foodie Club was this past weekend. We had a blast! My friend, Michael, generously gave me an obscene amount of morels that he foraged. What a treat! Everyone brought a variety of toppings and we made 3 different types of pizzas. Leah made a huge cake and Depal made a really great chicken caesar salad. It was a beautiful night so we sat around the fire pit outside and enjoyed our collectively prepared feast. Yum!!!








These are dried figs soaking in red wine which was later reduced and put on a pizza with blue cheese and prosciutto. Mmmm...
