Tim was heading to Shanghai, China with his father and other family members. We decided to have him over for a farewell dinner. We also invited Alan.
We started with a salad of Arugula, Blue Cheese, grapes and Saba. It was delicious. I really like the idea of fruit in Salads. It gives a great flavor balance to the bitterness of the Arugula and the sweetness of the Saba.
For the main course we made the biggest damn chicken I have ever seen! It was a chicken that thought it was a turkey! We used a recipe that we really like and make over and over. The combination of the onions, and roasted potatoes baking under the chicken and getting marinated by the chicken juices is a real winner. The recipe is: Roast Chicken with Preserved Lemons Adapted from Laurent Tourondel. It is a wonderful one-dish recipe. You can get the recipe from our blog of: Jan. 23, 2008.

Alan who apparently knows every bakery in LA brought us dessert. Yum.
