Special dinner party for 6 tonight: Leek and potato soup with fresh chives and bacon wrapped, jumbo pan seared scallops cooked in a really nice chardonnay and butter sauce Beautiful veal- pan sauteed and then drizzled in a pan sauce of butter, olive oil, good white wine, lemon juice, thyme, basil, garlic and a tiny bit of heavy cream. Any one care to give advice on whats going on with my camera? No matter the lighting or the plate color its just blurry. Wasnt like this before, usually nice clear photos. In any event, it was a lovely dinner party.

My GOD I dont think I can type after looking at this.... I could possibly die and be happy. Ok, maybe if I had gotten to TASTE it.

Lovely, fresh colors! I love it!!! Makes me want to go make soup, even at this hour!

Beautiful food!!! Makes me hungry again!

Hubby was away tonight so I made myself some pan fried dumplings stuffed with ground pork, cabbage, onions and garlic and some fried rice. Paired it with a lovely Chardonnay and Im in HEAVEN.. and there is NO LEFTOVERS. MMmmmmmmm....

HOLYCOW I need that shrimp pizza!!! WOW!!!!!!!!

Beef shortribs braised in cabernet for several hours and lobster risotto with some roasted asparagus. YUM!! Hate how the pic turned out, not sure why the lighting was so off.. Anyway.. MMMMM..

Did anyone figure out what the "meat" was? Weve looked at it a dozen times and still arent sure. What about the liquid in the shot glass?

Alright, its desert but my pasta pictures didnt turn out very well. This is (was) a chocolate and Grand Marnier souffle from last night. I think I have it perfffffected!!! We could have skipped the pasta and just eaten this!

Thanks!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Going to use it this weekend!!

Hey! Did you post your oxtail recipe somewhere? Ive been craving them ever since reading about them.

LOL.. the biggest problem was my husband pulling off ALL the skin and gobbling it instead of carving. I only got one little piece! Blahhh.... We are trying to work on that whole eating healthier thing but well.. it never seems to WORK for me.

Evening everyone! I roasted a chicken after rubbing it with garlic and lemon and stuffing both under the skin. Turned out really nice. Too bad the skin is so bad for you- IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!! What did you eat?

Note to self... NEVER read this board when you are hungry. Never. Ever.

Special Sunday night dinner- Beef wellington which turned out really good! Pinot Noir sauce on top and white truffle mashed potatoes. Not one of my best photos but we were STARVING and ready to eat!
