Gastronome

Last night I finally had a chance to cook for the Lempert-Lopez’s. (It’s been on the list for a YEAR.) The Leckmans joined us, and it was Sunday-as-unusual! Beca said she was craving tapas - specifically the gambas al ajillo and potatoes decadence we used to get at Timos. With that, I was off and running….

marcona almonds & olives
wacky spanish goat cheese (I forgot the name already. tsk.)
hummus with ground lamb and pinenuts
grilled figs with herbed goat cheese and proscuitto
french 75s and apple sours

===================
mushroom and almond soup
cava

===================
sorbet of grapefruit, champagne & campari

====================
gambas al ajillo
lamb meatballs in almond sauce
chorizo and apples in hard cider

potatoes decadence
roasted artichokes with romesco
fried gypsy peppers
salad with sherry-shallot vinaigrette & blue cheese
Jump the Stump (a red, from Beca)
an albariño I picked up at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant

====================
capricious with truffled honey and asian pears
