Friday, February 6, 2009, had dinner at Chez Panisse with Thomas and am writing it down before I forget all the foodie details. With half-glass wine flight added, the menu was:
Amuse bouche of warm cod (with potato, Tom thinks) on toast
An apéritif: cava with a syrup of kumquats (and lime?) and a dash of brandy
Smoked eel with frisée, Belgian endive, fennel, and apple (and some lightly creamy dressing). Wine was a smooth, flinty white Italian, the details of which Tom will remember better, but was by far our favorite of the night.
Hand-cut pasta with green peas, black trumpet mushrooms, and escarole (pasta was supremely tender, mushroom sauce was bread-moppably good). Wine was another white Italian that reminded us both of chardonnay, not bad, but not our fave.
Grilled Paine Farm squab with balsamic sauce, liver mousse crostini, and warm chicory salad with chanterelles. Wine was an Italian red - again, hoping Tom remembers wine details.
Kirsch-amarena cherry ice cream profiteroles (profiteroles sitting on creme fraiche with chocolate shavings on the side, ringed with sour cherry sauce).
