Monday dinner did not go exactly as planned this week. Unfortunately Kinga and Lisa could not make it because of the insane traffic in the city. Part of Gardiner closed and confusion ensued … since all this mayhem occurred in the afternoon we found out late that the girls wouldn’t be able to come… and dinner has already been started… well I still took pictures of it… please try not to lick the screen…The Menu:
Openning drink: Malibu coconut rum with pineapple and white cranberry juice… mmmm
Appetizer: Mini corn and crab puddings/muffins served with dill sour cream… (one word… unfreakingbelivable) (Jay made 3 dozen of them so that you guys could take some home… ummm well don’t worry, I’ll make sure they don’t go bad)
Main Course: Dragon risotto (the rice is black in the box, cooks up very dark purple) with 2 large sea scallops seasoned with saffron salt, and wild Irish sockeye salmon… (it’s impossible to put the flavor of this dish into words, but I’ll try)… DIVINE
Dessert: Well as cupcakes did not make an appearance (we’re hoping to see them next time) … we decided to forgo the dessert.
I must say it was very, very delicious, and must point out a crucial rule, Jay has yet to repeat a meal for the get together dinners (yes…I mean we’ve had risotto before but it was never the same risotto)… since this meal was planed to be a get together dinner… when I asked him.. the Chef informed me that he will be unable to replicate it since he refuses to compromise this rule… sorry girls… enjoy the pics…
(Tip: if you click on any of the pictures, they’ll open up in a new screen… supersized)
