I didn't take pictures of dinner last night, but here is what we had:
-An appetizer of pan roasted mushrooms finished with garlic and butter, then spread on bousin laden baguette slices and briefly broiled.
-Organic, lime marinated shrimp with curry over basmati
-Grape tomato, red onion spears, and gorgonzola salad with olive oil and balasamic
-Steamed and buttered spring asparagus
-Roasted red and yellow bells peppers, baked in cream with shallots and basil
We had Jason, Amy, Ben and Ayla, Melissa, Caitlin and D., and my boss Jen (Chair of the English department where I work). I was a bit dissapointed in the shrimp -- it got a bit firmer than I prefer, while it was sitting under the foil waiting for the sauce to thicken up. The basil was a bit mild (given the season). Otherwise, everything was delicious. I was too tired from cooking (2 hours cleaning and deveining the shrimp) to take pictures, but snapped a few afterwards when the kids played cards with D. and Jason. Today we're having a thanksgiving style turkey dinner.
