The Birthday Cake

Kashmera and Krushna were in town. Usually they stay with us but because we are doing some remodeling there was no room at the inn. We were touched that Krushna wanted to have his birthday dinner at our house, flying in after finishing a film in Mumbai. They invited a lot of their friends to share in the fun.

Krushna had requested pork so we purchased 2 large Pork Loins from McCall’s Meat and Fish. We tied them together so they could be placed on a spit to roast on our rotisserie.

We hired Elvis (his nickname) to serve, clean up and assist, so that we could enjoy the party. He was an excellent addition, making it much easier for us.

We used the recipe for Herb-Crusted Pork Loin Roast from License to Grill by Chris Schlesinger. It was delicious and moist and smoky and tender! You can find the recipe on our blog of: July 2, 2008. Click the date to get the recipe.

Kashmera had requested Crab Dynamite (our go to appetizer that everyone loves). The sauce is terrific but it MUST be made with Japanese Mayo. We started with a recipe that we found on The Fine Lobster Blog called: Creamy Spicy Lobster: a twist on a Nobu Classic. Everyone loves it! We served Japanese Rice with it. We purchased excellent  canned Lump Crab meat from McCall's Meat and Fish. Everyone and I mean everyone loves it! The recipe can be found on our blog of: Sep. 5, 2010.

Robert and Darryl did double duty, 1^st making a potato gratin and also a wonderful dessert.

We apparently served a lot of wine, as testified by the exuberance with which guests tried on different shirts that Kashmera had brought them from India. Once again, Tim regaled us with his adventures.
