Dinner Party

So.

I was so excited about this dinner party

I seriously deliberated all week about what to make.

We usually have dinners where all of the food is served at once, and we have to eat early

so the kids can partake.

but we said, "nay."

This was served course by course- preparing each after the previous one had been

finished.

First we had a bit of cheese.

Fab Fromage for Quebec

(served on ceramic coasters)

The avocado and cucumber soup we learned to make in Quebec,

topped with serrano pepper whipped cream.

Fried green tomatoes, roasted beets and remoulade!

Served over polenta

The main course was Osso Buco

I don't have photos

The dessert was a caramel apple pecan cheesecake

Also, no photos.

We were having fun...we must have forgotten :P



Quebec- Day 4

Today our Lovely meal was chilled avocado and cucumber soup (with a garnish of lobster and shrimp!)




An amuse bouche of pea soup




Beef steak salad




And an apricot tart with almonds, pistachio and rosemary frangipane, with raspberry sorbet. It looked prettier before the sorbet melted, but I was pulling shots.




In the afternoon we went to the Honey Economuseum


Doing a honeywine tasting




We visited Saint Anne de Beaupre Basilica





We visited Moulin de Petit Pre- A very old flour mill







And stopped as a shop for some fresh produce, fabulous pie, and to visit some goats.

Our travels then took us to Montmorency park falls









Words in the wood



Then we came back to the college and cooked dinner in tiny poorly stocked kitchens- It was fun, but I am very full right now.. this seems to be a recurring incident.

Anyhow, tomorrow off to the Farmers market bright and moderately early.
