Bea's Birthday






It was our friend Bea’s Birthday and we invited her over for a Macaroni and Cheese Dinner. This of course, is the absolute fantastic Macaroni and Cheese from Paris Bistro Cooking by Linda Dannenberg: Gratin de Macaroni a l’Ancienne.

We started with Champagne and a vegetable tart that I bought from  our local favorite restaurant and to go place: Forage.

For the first course we had Fresh Asparagus with a Breadcrumb Topping. The Macaroni and Cheese, is without a doubt the best one ever. I LOVE it, as does everyone else who eats it. Cholesterol be damned! We have probably made the Mac n Cheese 20 times. If you have never made it, try it you will be hooked! You can get the recipe from our blog of: Feb. 2, 2009.

For dessert we had individual Chocolate Tarts from Proof Bakery.

It was a great birthday, with Bea telling us stories of Silverlake.
