Last night a friend of a friend made me the most delicious birthday dinner. We had endive boats with apple, arugula, and manchego cheese, braised lamb with fig current sauce, acorn squash filled with yam puree, and sautéed kale. For dessert we had baked pears with a fig balsamic reduction on vanilla ice cream! Apparently, he’s graduating from cooking school. And apparently, it was worth his time and effort to go there.
For some reason, these pics make it look like we had this dinner in the 70's, but don't be fooled--this meal rocked us in '06.
