Another NYE, another NYF! I love everything about NYF, except maybe for cleaning the formal silverware afterwards. Truly, though, that's a small price to pay for the fun of planning a menu with no worries about money, the fun of cooking it, and the treat of sharing a great meal and a comfy evening at home with good friends. I only would have changed one thing about this year's - i would have granted the Leckmans health-for-the night, as they weren't feeling well and had to cancel at the last moment. Menu below!
victorian secrets
cheese & olives
an assortment of caviar
potato blini
muhommerah
crab bisque
cream of porcini
herbed coconut broth
seared scallops
yellow squash
curried leeks & blood orange sauce
rack of lamb with demi-glace
hedgehog mushroom, shallot & leek tarts
asparagus with pistachio aillade
charred-shallot mashed potatoes
twice-baked chèvre soufflé
mixed green salad
crème brulée
meyer lemon tarts
recchiuti chocolates
oh so luscious. your lamb made my mouth water.
yum...

And don't forget to polish the formal silver with Crest toothpaste--not only does it remove tarnish, it prevents it!
