Actually, I have a big deal going on tonight...
My childhood friend and his boyfriend are joining my daughter and I for an after holiday meal. Another friend of mine, my photographer from my past, ahem...life....is also joining us.
We're having stuffed mushrooms (currants, brie and crab) with cocktails in the parlour.
First course is endive with port poached pears, saga bleu and candied pecans with an orange balsamic glaze.
Dinner is pork tenderloin marsala with butternut squash risotto and broccoli with lemon aoili.
I'm making a caranberry walnut braided bread.
Dessert is slices of linzer torte with eggnog creme brulee.
I have a pinot noir from the russian river valley for dinner.
