We had a beef tenderloin filet, dry-brined, then grilled hard. Served with mushrooms (red wine reduction) and compound butter (fresh rosemary, thyme, and lemon). We also enjoyed pinto beans with cilantro, garlic, and EOO; sauteed spinach with garlic and lemon; parboiled green beans, which were then grilled with red onions and served with herbes de Provence. And a salad with lots of good greeens. Topped off with a dessert of grilled peaches with cream, and all washed down with a Seven Deadly Zins.

And grilled peaches with heavy cream for dessert.

sometimes I laugh at how marketing describes a new product launch, , , , “bugs microwaved 30 seconds”
, , I read in journal of food technology France is the leading producer of culinary insects

We went to a viewing near dinner time, so we came home and really rushed to put this together. Grilled green beans and garlic scapes (red onions, marjoram); grilled corn-off-the-cob (butter, garlic, tarragon); a broccoli/arugula/potato puree courtesy of Mrs. Sour Grapes; grilled halibut with a butter/lemon/basil sauce. Dessert was grilled peaches and heavy cream.

Yesterday we celebrated my son's birthday with a simple meal of ribeye steak, baked potato, fresh corn, and a nice Rioja. Plus an 18 yo cheddar cheese, which didn't last long ...

I dunno, I would say that 18 years is a long time for a cheese to last... :?

:p

It is more accurate to say the cheese survived 18 quiet years, then passed in a quick bout of gluttony. But it did not pass alone, a Rioja volunteered to accompany it past the Pearly Gates and into the Alimentary Canal of Eternity.
