Is this what you want for your birthday dinner this year?
I always thought a good dinner party idea is to recreate the titanic menu..but our budget would only extend to the lower class passenger menu...which still sounds pretty good to me
Steph: Right?
Mama: Yes, but we can skip the Rhine wine.
Screamish: I'd love to recreate any menu at that link. I'm fascinated by them. The hotel breakfast menus are the best, food-wise.
That's a lotta sexy food.
I myself had oysters for my birthday last Friday---and pear cognac---and some other delightful things. But nary a larded tenderloin. Does larded mean what I think it means?
P.S. Now that I have an identity, ye'll never get rid o' me...
Okay, so I do have oysters once in a while - the nearest oyster bar is just down the hill from me - but I'm not normally this fancy about it. I assumed larded meant, you know, something something rubbed with lard.
Comment away my friend!
I wish I was a damn stockholder, of course, then I'd be dead now. It might be worth it.
With meals like that, you'd live forever.
