Saturday night dinner with friends.
Cassoulet Toulousain (Autumn) from MC, without the duck
It's Lamb Shoulder cooked for 48h in stock and duck fat w/ spices, a garlic sausage I made myself, beans pressure cooked in stock, and a ham broth.
I wanted to make Duck Leg Confit, but there were no local sources for Duck Legs as one supplier in my state had their duck barn burn down. I didn't want to pay $80 to get duck legs and tongues shipped from Pennsylvania.
It was still quite yummy!
For desert it was Pavlova my wife made:
Raspberries from our garden, White Nectarines, and Golden Figs, in a cream sauce with a meringue base. It was divine.
Alone with this I opened the first bottle of my case of 2012 Whitehall Lanes Cabernet Sauvignon wine, and it was fantastic!
