Got my "P" Back

Wine:
Domaine De Nerleux Saumur-Champigny 2000
Chateau au Pont-de-Pomerol 2000


I had spilled some wine on my keyboard and had to send the computer into Sony to get fixed. For some reason the wine made it so my letter "P" wouldn't work. Glad I got it fixed because the ingrediants in this dinner have a lot of "P's"!

Bea came over to join us for dinner. Fires are ranging everywhere in Southern California and it was great to be with friend for dinner. Luckily other than the air quality we aren’t affected by the fires. For some reason they ring LA but aren’t in the LA basin itself.

We started with a fall salad. This is the first time since last fall that we have made this great salad. The salad is very easy to make. You just need (as usual) great fresh ingredients. The pomegranates were exceptionally good this year. We make the salad with Persimmons, Prosciutto, Pomegranate, Saba and Mescaline
Lettuce.

From the Bistro Cookbook by Patricia Wells Tendrons de Veau le Cameleon with Pasta. This is classic dish. Veal shanks are cooked for hours until they fall of the bone. It makes a great pasta sauce.

We had been to the newly enlarged Joan’s on 3rd Street. Who can resist Coconut Chocolate Cupcakes?

It was a very nice dinner and the wines were perfect for the food.
