So far, this is what I'm planning for our wedding anniversary dinner:
Steak Flambe Moutarde
Oven roasted cauliflower
Greek Salad with beets and feta (Or maybe Caesar Salad)
Store bought mini carrot cake

But it could change as the day wears on.

Enjoy your celebration.

We're also having a bottle of French sparkling wine and a very nice Bordeaux.

Your dinner sounds fabulous. Your other half is lucky to have someone with great taste!

Thought of having a salad with it, but decided to add a carrot and a red pepper to the soup instead and buzz it all into a chunky, tasty puree with my immersion blender.

I like that term "buzz it all." I will think of that next time I'm using my immersion blender.

Takes me back to my college years when I frequented a restaurant called The Bleu Ox. Their specialty was that burger you made tonight.

Ummm. And memories that make me happy.

I roasted the beets yesterday and will make the soup this morning. And I still have some great cheese and some good bread.

It's snowing here - has been since 7:00 a.m and borscht sounds perfect for a day like today .

Sometimes I like to give DH a taste of the old country (plus I love melted cheese).

with beets, lettuce, goat cheese and walnuts .

I'm not a big mushroom lover, but it's a texture thing. Pureeing the soup gave me all the flavor without the "chewiness".

That beet salad is one of my favorties. I first had it in a restaurant in New Orleans and have made it at home for years.

Enjoy and stay warm!

Baked potato and baby romaine salad on the side.

Sort of a east meets west conglomeration.

I was in VA today doing stuff, and stopped at Frankies Ribs and got dinner.

What I wouldn't give for a meal like that.

Except it would make glycemic levels go sky high. Except for the beans, maybe.

Well, sigh, glad you can enjoy.

Signed,

enviously yours,
