Date: April 30th, 2024 8:22 PM Author: Blue Background Story Keep it simple - you can actually make this a world class meal. Start off with some nice appetizers and drinks.
Seared scallops with a light lemon butter sauce, top off with some chives and sea salt. Pair this with a crispy mineral-y Chablis or maybe a light champagne
Serve this with a nice charcuterie board with whatever rare artisan cheeses you have access to. I'm talking soft Frenh cheese, Monte Enebro (spanish goat cheese), a spicy gorgonzola - if you really wanted to impress them you could find some langres and pour a little brandy into the divot on top. Get some nice unusual meats like truffle salami or some aged iberico ham. Pair this with a smooth Sherry and a some small pots of honeycomb and fig jam.
For your beef tenderloin - do it herb-crusted (thyme, rosemary, minced garlic. Pair this with a strong full-bodied Cab or a bold AF Barolo to match the beef herbal richness. For your stovetop au poivre sauce add a little balsamic or your finest dijon mustard to add depth.
Get your wife to add some avocado slices, toasted pine nuts and a sprinkle of goat cheese to the salad.
Oven roast those potatoes with rosemary, thyme and lemon zest.
You can offer a light Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rose to palate cleanse.
Scrap the fruits for dessert and instead make a chocolate fondant with a salted caramel core. Like a rich, molten chocolate cake with a flowing salted caramel center which you can serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. You'd be wise to pair with this a vintage Port or maybe a late harvest Rieseling.
Have you thought about the playlist?

Date: April 30th, 2024 9:21 PM Author: french pit party of the first part Everything here is good but this seems like too much effort for a simple meal. I would recommend the charcuterie as it's easy and always a winner, include fruit with that. Love the scallop idea but would make that the main entree with the potatoes to save on time and lighten the meal. Cooking desert is also too much. I would suggest berry sorbet and vanilla ice cream or warmed up brownies with ice cream. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5523278&forum_id=2#47623290) |
