Show me your Mussels Big Boy











Robert and Darryl combined forces with us for a dinner. We decided to make Cote De Boeuf. Nate at McCall's Meat and Fish convinced us that we should buy separate piece rather than one larger 2 bone steak. It was delicious. You can get the recipe from our blog of: Jan. 15, 2011. Click the date to get the recipe. It is one of the few steak recipes that are best roasted in the oven and not grilled outside.

We got a White Truffle from Italy from Palate Food and Wine, and we wanted to show it at its maximum flavor and intensity.

Robert and Darryl brought us two starters both made with mussles: a Mussel Salad and Baked Mussels. They both were delicious. It was great having them as appetizers. They not only were excellent, but they were dishes we wouldn’t make. They really have a knack for making mollusks.

With our meat we made Mashed Potatoes from a recipe that didn't work. Don't know why but it would seem like it would be difficult to botch mashed potatoes, but it happened. Both dishes were topped with Truffles Slices. The truffles compensated for the lack of consistency of the mashed potatoes!

For dessert another fantastic Cake from Proof! We are lucky to have such a good bakery so close to us.
