It was a warm
sunny day so we decided to eat on the patio.
We had
purchased a Dungeness crab at Costco on Saturday that we let thaw in the meat
crisper of the fridge. On Sunday morning
while watching Sunday morning news programs, I made a fruit salad with papaya,
mangos, pineapple and lime juice.
After the news
shows at 10:00 a.m., we started making Brunch.
I cleaned the crab and Suzette made a Louis Sauce with mayonnaise,
catsup, pickle relish, lemon and Tabasco to taste and fetched a bottle of
Argyle Brut Champagne from the basement.
When I commented that she had found a good bottle of champagne, she
said, “If it is good enough for the White House, it is good enough for us.”
Suzette then
cut an avocado in half and put one-half on each plate and we were
ready for a lovely Easter Brunch.
The
combination of crab, avocado and Louis Sauce was wonderful, especially with the
champagne with its strong overtone of pinot noir and delicate bubbles.
Everything
looked and tasted great in the warm sunlight.
Bon Appétit
