Alyssa made cocktails: " pink drinks" from her American Girl magazine! ...basically, strawberry sorbert, yogurt, orange juice, apple juice and banana. She sprinkled red sugar sprinkles on top!
I made a black bread terrine with camembert, roquefort, filberts and raisins, served beside a green salad, and aged balsamic.
Alan made his Lemon Risotto. Always SO good!
Marshall made a hunter's style of mini braised short ribs (onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, garlic, thyme, paprika ,vermouth and mushrooms soaked in red wine) with a nice ragout served on creamy , parmesan mashed potatoes.
Dessert: Marshall made a Pavlova from his International Kids Cookbook. Turned out great! He even made the whip cream from scratch! very good!
of course the champagne, from Italy ( we brought home with us, from our last trip. Claudio's vineyard!) brought back memories.
Then a few more special wines Alan picked out to compliment the meal...kids had sparkling water!
