wana come over for a dinner party..., 5/7/07

This was my first "date" with Jane. We met at the Beatrice Inn on the first Monday of May, 2007. I texted the following day, Tuesday, and invited Jane to a dinner party at my house the following Saturday. She brought Ovrokki as a wingwoman. Tara was my wingwoman. This was the magical meal.





Branzino crudo with cape gooseberries, kaiware, and mung bean sprouts










Gazspacho consomme, tomatoes, patty pan squash, cucumber, and quinoa











Branzino with mushroom ravioli and truffle beurre blanc











Strawberries, fromage blanc, and pain d'epice


















A good time was had by all and romance was in the air.
























...later we went out dancing!
