HOLIDAY DINNER AT HOME WITH FRIENDS

HOLIDAY DINNER
AT HOME WITH FRIENDS 

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner and evening with friends.  My friend knows a wine distributor and he came supplied with a bottle of 2002 Opus One and a 1999 Dom Perignon.  Dinner began with Seared Ahi Tuna, Assorted Cheese, Salami and a Shrimp Civiche served in champagne glasses.  Dinner began with a Caesar Salad with Anchovies and Parmesan Crisps.  We followed the salad with a light pasta with butter, sage, Parmesan and local mushrooms.  The main course included Alaskan King Crab Legs, Filet Mignon, Twice Baked Potatoes stuffed with roasted garlic, butter, ham and cheese.  Also had some Asparagus and a tomato wedge crusted with Parmesan and bread crumbs.  Our friends brought great and tasty creme puffs for desert, but I was so full that I could not even look at them.  We lit the fireplace, kicked back with a glass of wine and enjoyed our beautiful Christmas Tree.  Truly a wonderful evening.
