Dinner and guests.
We had our first visitors to our new house last night. To mark this occasion I put together a special menu, picked up some freshly baked bread, and purchased a few bottles of nice red wine.
About the guests: For three months this summer I lived away from my family in Parker, CO and stayed in the home of Kathy Jackson, a lady I found on www.craigslist.org. She was looking for a short-term roommate, and I needed a fully furnished place to stay for a short term. We became friends, and I invited Kathy and her sister over for dinner last night.
About the food: I started with fresh baked ciabatta, sliced thin and layered with fresh basil, smoked mozzarella, fresh tomato, olive oil, and aceto balsamico. The main course was grilled pork tenderoin (with a garlic/orange wet rub), oven roasted green beans (with walnuts, red onions, and basalmic vinegar), wild rice with mushroom risotto, and mushrooms sauteed with thyme, shallots, and marsala.
We washed this down with a few bottles of Argentinian Malbec. If you haven’t tried Argentinian malbecs you are missing out.
The best part? Leftovers.
Nice! We really amused by the website.
