Buffet No. 2, check.
Today, my group knocked out a last-minute pasta buffet. It was pretty awesome, if I might say so myself. In a few hours time, we made fresh cavatelli with an oxtail ragu and chanterelle mushrooms; truffled mac 'n' cheese; orecchiette with broccoli rabe and white anchovies; linguini with rock shrimp; fresh gnocchi with peas and proscuitto; and fresh butternut squash-filled ravioli with a sage cream sauce.
I hope we can bring our "A" game to family meal as well. Tomorrow starts the new rotation with a menu of roast beef, potatoes gratin and roasted Brussels sprouts. What's not to love about this meal?
On the way home from class, I found myself standing in front of Dean & Deluca's ice cream freezer. I picked up a pint of Salty Caramel from Jeni's—the most amazing ice cream maker, located in Columbus, Ohio—to surprise Ryan. At $11, it was the most I've ever spent for that amount of ice cream at a grocery.
Now, that's amore.
All those pasta's looked and sounded so good. I am impressed that all were made fresh and in a short period of time....You go girl! :)
