Last weekend I had a great opportunity to prepare a six course meal for a group of gals who converged on Rehoboth for a Holiday shopping extravaganza. The soup was a huge hit and I promised to post the recipe…..coming soon! This turned out to be a well balanced menu and was really well received by the girls. The Absolut New Orleans Punch was also a big hit. This is my new favorite libation due to the Mango and Black Pepper Vodka created by Absolut. Absolut New Orleans also is a charitable contribution, so buy some today!
Here is the menu:
Crab and Tropical Fruit Salsa served with Absolut New Orleans Punch
Leek and Winter Squash Soup/Parmesan Manchego Crouton/Chived Sour Cream
Seared Scallops/Parsnip and Potato Custard/Crisp Cherrywood Bacon/Roasted Cauliflower
Arugala and Mixed Greens/Braised Fennel and Onion/Fresh Orange Segments/
Dried Cherries/Toasted Pine Nuts and a White Balsamic Vinaigrette
Roasted Pork Tenderloin Medallions/Sauteed Pears and Apples with Flamed Brandy/Braised Kale
Petite Double-Chocolate Bundt Cakes filled with Fresh Vanilla Eggnog Creme Anglaise

Chet T. I was looking through your Archives (what a great idea) I was fortunate to enough to be at the “Girls Holiday Dinner” and I am having guest from DC and want to WOW them with your “Seared Scallops/Parsnip and Potato Custard/Crisp Cherrywood Bacon/Roasted Cauliflower” (my god that was so,so flaverful) . I have found when I am looking for inspiration ,something to wow my guest with I keep coming back to “WellSpicedLife” instead of making use of my many cooks books. And when they ask me for the reciepe I hand them a post note your website. AHhh !! you make life so easy for me!!!!
Looking forward to more incredable ediables.
