I'm pretty jazzed about figuring out how to use the "micro" setting on my camera. (finally)
Our visit last week with friends from Seattle left a very good taste in our mouth. They brought every imaginable delicacy and treat from across the mountains from hand-made cheeses and sour beer, to bavarian meats and fau gras (I must admit I should have given my porition of goose liver pate to their three year old who ate up every bit she was served. Sadly, my palate is lacking here.)
This balsamic vinegar and olive oil was their special gift to us. They had tasted it at a restaurant and wanted to bring it for us to try. Honestly, we all agreed we could have drunk it. I made fresh bread and we went to town with a salad and all the other lovely things. For dessert, a lemon liquor served freezing cold with home-made vanilla bean ice cream.
Good friends, good food, good wine. What more is there in life?
Oh man, we are inviting them to stay with us any time now!
I’ve long been impressed with Nicaea’s palate.
Beautiful spread. I agree-nothing better than good food, friends and…wine ;) Any chance you can pass on that homemade bread recipe that I’m drooling over right now???
Caitlin makes the BEST fresh bread!
