Julia Child Dinner #2




Another wonderful dinner tonite with my JC conspirators. S made a kick-ass chicken foie with homemade aspic (yes, I said homemade). She also whipped up a delightful garlic butter and served both with a rosemary bread. Heavenly to say the least. I made beef short ribs braised in red wine, served with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes. R made the kid friendly dish of chicken meatballs with pasta that the kids went crazy for. N completed the nite with a beautiful dessert composed of layered meringue with layers of almond and kirsch buttercream and topped with chocolate buttercream. To top it all off, there was an amazing show hosted by all the children that involved singing, music, camping/fishing scenes, a limbo line, and a tent.
