adventures in cooking

So, pulled off a quick four course meal for bad_influence's birthday:

lobster bisque

spinach salad with strawberry & feta topped with homemade vinaigrette

provencal lamb chops & couscous

dulce de leite wafers (from brasil), topped with lychee sorbet & dulce de leite ice cream, fresh strawberries, and creme caramel sauce from V. Sattui vineyard

The lamb was melt in your mouth perfect, the bisque was marvelous, and dessert wasn't too heavy. This was accompanied by a bottle of 20year old port. My mouth & tummy are very very happy.

quote of the night:
bad_influence: [upon seeing the icon i'm using for this post] Yay! Crotch Cooking!

Needless to say, my other half is *hilarious* on half a bottle of port.

Let me know if people want recipes. I didn't actually make the bisque, but I did do everything else.
