In Which a Five-Course Dinner for Two is Prepared and Enjoyed
Tonight, to celebrate Jen's birthday, I prepared a full five-course dinner.
First Course
Minestrone with herbed toast.
Second Course
Crab cakes with red plum and garlic butter sauces.
Third Course
Dijon-peppercorn filet of beef, sautéed balsamic vegetables, rice pilaf.
Fourth Course
Cheesecake with orange syrup, coffee.
Fifth Course
Brie and Havarti with Dill, crackers.
I'd forgotten how good it feels to cook, I mean really cook, not just entree-starch-veggie-drink cook. I'll admit, the soup and cheesecake were store-bought, but the rest, c'est moi. I feel...accomplished. This, coupled with
knitknut's recent party photos puts me in the mood to do some serious entertaining.Ah, but well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
But why shouldn't I entertain? After all,

Ooh. Eschaton. How very...McKenna.
