We're now officially on vacation, and are now also both anxiously awaiting our departure for Japan.
We had a nice dinner last night with Pavel and Tatiana. It's been a long time since we've had people over to our place, and it was fun pulling everything together. Plus it's nice to have a concrete reason to get the place cleaned up. The feature dish was Erik's os a moelle risotto, and everything else paled in comparison around it. Regardless, here's the menu:
Appetizers and aperitif:
Baba ghanoush with home-made pita chips
Purple potato chips
Raspberry kir royale
Entree:
Fennel salad, from the Barfoot Contessa in Paris
Plat:
Os a moelle (marrow bone) risotto
Haricots verts with shallots
Fromage:
Brillat Savarin triple creme
Goat cheese
Comte
Dessert:
Nectarine, mascarpone and gingersnap tart
It was a delicious meal, and nice to be able to host them for once.
Now we've got lots of time to learn Japanese, do laundry, clean out the fridge and start packing. Oh, and stress about the 3 hour connection we have once we arrive in Japan. Apparently it's more than enough time, but we've got to go through customs and change airports. Let's hope Japanese efficiency is on our side on Wednesday!
Sayoanara!
