Christmas and New Year's

[neotoma]

So I had dinner with fabrisse on Christmas -- she made salt cod with potatoes, I made an apple pie (though with a butter crust) and brought cinnamon blueberry shrub syrup that we mixed up.

Tonight, I had dinner with her again, her treat at Belga Cafe. She had an onion torte and a mushroom risotto (chanterelles and truffles, among others) while I had a beet salad and roast pheasant in armagnac sauce with roast endive, brussel sprouts, and potato croquettes. We split a desert of apple tartin en flambe with vanilla ice cream, because who can resist setting things on fire?

Hopefully that's a good start to the new year.

A lovely meal with a friend, sounds like a great way to ring in the new year to me.
