My son and dil love wine and have quite a collection. Red wine gives me a headache and I just never acquired a taste for wine period. I know I'm probably missing out though.
Thank you, my dear. No...I'm not going to stop with the food posts. Good food is to be shared, even virtually.
I'm having a new friend over for lunch today. We've lived down the road from each other for 12 years and only just met a few months ago. We're getting along great! I can't believe how much we have in common. She loves food and wine too. I'm serving a take on the shrimp salad that I had in France and a bottle white, Vouvray from the Loire Valley. My garden is blooming like crazy, so we're sitting outside. My DH has been helping me clean up the place...rare, but nice.
The shrimp salad is pretty easy...basically, a Mediterranean Cobb Salad featuring grilled shrimp and that mustard vinaigrette that I posted a few days ago. I put all kinds of stuff on there...lettuce, zucchini spirals, browned sweet potato chunks, heirloom tomato, boiled eggs, asparagus, olives, artichoke heart and a few other things. There's a little goody in every bite. I made a cheese/charcuterie platter for starters and baked some bread. For dessert, I'm just serving some sliced fig and nut cakette, soaked in honey and sherry, fresh strawberries, along with espressos.
