I ate yogurt, vitamin powder, milk, raspberries, blueberries, and granola for breakfast.
Then at 12:15 I heated a plate of PPI Mapo Dofu and rice.
At 2:45 I rode to Montano and back.
At 4:00 Suzette came home, so I ended my work day and showered and went to the kitchen. I skewered marinated pieces of lamb, blanched onion, and mushroom . Then I risottoed 2 cups of No. 4 bulgar wheat, a handful each of almonds, and raisins in olive oil and butter. I then added 4 cups of hot water with a tsp. of dehydrated chicken stock.
I then simmered the bulgar for 30 minutes. After about ten minutes I sautéed a cup of chopped chard and about 1/3 cup of almonds.
The outdoor grill was out of propane, so we broiled the skewers in the oven at 500 degrees on convection broil.
Barry and Kylene arrived a bit before 7:00 with a bottle of Gruet Brut champagne, a Trader Joe’s seeded baguette, and a bowl of homemade tapenade.
Then a few minutes after 7:00 Cynthia and Ricardo arrived with three bowls holding steamed artichokes stuffed with shrimp and bread crumbs with a butter and lemon sauce as an appetizer. Willy also arrived a bit after 7:00. I opened two bottles of 2012 Cotes du Rhine and a magnum of Block Patch French Pinot Noir.
We ate artichokes, fore grass, warm bread, artichokes, and tapenade.
Then we broiled the lamb shush kabobs. Then we plated each plate with a mound of bulgar and a shish kabob.
After dinner we plated a slice of Italian Cloud Cake on a puddle of pomegranate flavored crime anglais.
A lovely evening.
We stayed up until after 10:00 to watch final speeches by Clinton and Trump and the first voting in NH.
Bon Apetit
