February Gourmet Club

Tonight was Gourmet Club and the theme was Celebrating the Winter Olympic Games.

This event was hosted at our home this evening. We typically rotate the location and divide up a menu that serves 8-10 people. It’s actually really good.

Everyone does a great job preparing their portion and it cuts down on the burden of one couple preparing the entire menu. For each course prep time averages about 2-3 hours… Once I made green beans that took over 2 hours…

Here is what we enjoyed this evening.

Appetizers:
Tarte a L’Olynon, Edamame (Pete and Sarah)
Salad: Garden Salad with Miso-Tofu-Carrot Ginger Dressing (Pete and Sarah)
Entrée: Ribs with Chipotle-Molasses BBQ Sause, Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes (Rich and Amy)
Dessert: Bicerin, Masarpone Panna Cotta with Mixed Berries (Scott and Lauren)
Wines: Domaine Bott-Geyl Gentil d’Alsace, Leaping Lizard Zinfandel (Mike, Goldie and Henry see pic) my favorite...
