Finally it's warm enough for a Wine Time outside in the backyard. Starting with my neighbour's big fat purple asparagus, uncooked but lower limb peeled, sliced thinly, with green onion, fresh mint, lime and AgroDolce. Dishes of oiled Moroccan olives.
Sliced baguette with Port Salut cheese and a thin slice of a date, fig, hazelnut and almond cake. Also some very creamy blue cheese. Not shown: bowls of chopped garlic generously covered with olive oil and heated in microwave. Accompanied by more sliced baguette.
Salad of heirloom tomato, bell pepper, cilantro, lemon, Red Boat fish sauce, balsamic.
No pictures of dessert which was a coffee mousse.
What a wonderful assortment to enjoy outdoors with friends. I am not a sweets person, but that cake intrigues. I do like sweet with savory. Oh and the coffee mousse. I typically did the Julia Child classic but subbed Sabra for GrandMarnier. Sabra is an Israeli chocolate & orange liqueur. But I also did one before that that was gelatin stabiized, coffee flavord and whipped to a high level of airy in the mixer. May need to re-visit.
