Big meal coming up soon..... what do I do?

[mrdutton]

Well here's the final low down:

Menu started with:

Smoked Bluefish Pate
Truffle Pate
Artichoke heart, sun-dried tomato & garlic pate
Cougar Gold Cheese
Carr Valley 3yr Aged Cheddar (been storage here at the house for two years)

Beer, Jack Daniels, and then a bottle of 1997 Rosemount GSM (Please, not all at once.)

Crown Roast of Lamb with a dijon, rosemary, garlic crust done to medium rare. Yukon Gold roast garlic mashers, french cut green beans, spring green & baby spinach salad with Raspberry Vinegar/Hazelnut oil vinaigrette.

Wine with dinner was a 1997 M. Chapoutier Gigondas.

After dinner we had slim slices of New York Style cheesecake with a light dark red fruit glaze and then some Hennessy XO.

Mr. IK helped me in the kitchen before dinner and Mrs. IK helped Mrs. mrdutton after dinner.

I think we had a wonderful evening together. No pictures were taken!
