Dinner at Bea's Bath House

Wines:
Champagne Drappier Brut Carte-d-or
August Kessleler Riesling 1995 Rheingau
Moscat

New Year's day continued our saga of a broken sewer main. So while the plumbers unsuccessfully sought to solve our problem, we wondered when and if we would ever be able to take a shower. Fortunately Bea invited us to take a shower at her house, so we packed towels, and headed over. We had Champagne, cheese, pasta leftovers, and cakes from New Years Eve, so we packed our stuff and went to Bea’s.

Bea had purchased some Alaska King Crab legs. We had reservations for New Years Day lunch at Hungry Cat, but unfortunately had to cancel because of the plumbers. However, Cliff was inspired by the King Crab at Hungry Cat and tried to reproduce it. He made a sauce of: Butter, Shallots, Basil, Salt, Pepper, Green Onions and Dijon Mustard. It worked out well. We had both Chocolate Cake and Pomegranate Cake for desert with Moscato wine. It was a good start for the New Year. But when are we supposed to diet?
