Here is the plateau des fruits de mer. Isn't it a thing of beauty? Shrimp, crab, raw oysters and sea snails - not to mention homemade mayo and mignonette. It was wonderful.
Next was perfectly cooked pasta with pesto sauce (no pic - oops!) and then the desserts.
Cheese - we drizzled buckwheat honey on one of the goat cheeses. Oh my.
Macarons:
And one of the best tarte au citron I've ever had.
Here we are before devouring the platter.
Nancy and Patrick. He was a great guy. His son, who lives in Brooklyn, is a musician and is on tour in Europe; Patrick has become a roadie, of sorts. ;-)
It was a great evening. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of great food and great wine.
The walk home was very pleasant - lovely, mild night. This is what we see a few blocks from the apartment...
Brings back good memories. Those two are fun. Looks like you guys are having a great time!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very good. Were the oysters opened already or did you have to open them yourselves?
ReplyDeleteOpened, but you must order in advance. We tried to get a dozen oysters to go a few nights ago, and there was no shucking to be had on the fly. ;-)
