umm, you do have my new address to ensure I get MY invitation, right?

 

[anna_x]

OMG, so gorgeous!

I see my last name is on your dessert wine. As a family member, do I get an invite?

 

[barb_b]

Wow! What a treat for your lucky guests~ Grilling Beef tenderloin would scare me! I would

be afraid to overcook. As always, I am so impressed.
Best,
Barb

Dang. I love your posts, but golly, GEE, I am envious of everyone who gets to attend them. . .

makes me depressed .

Very Nice Menu. Do you do take out? smileys/smile.gif

 

[barb_b]

Ha! Love "Do you do take out!"

 

[melissa-dallas]

I think we all need to move to the same retirement community & let Richard be the cook

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Pix w food are now up!

This was a seriously yummy dinner and not too much work at all to pull off. I spent the most time on the canapes, but that is just sitting and assembling with all of the components prepped and laid out.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

temp probe to 125 and then pull it off. It goes up 10 degrees as it sits

to perfect medium rare.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Well the family certainly makes a delicious Trockenbeerenauslese!

 

[marilynfl]

Are they public, Richard? I'm still just seeing the museum-level table settings--no food.

 

[marilynfl]

Ditto on the MFF (meat fear factor)

 

[barb_b]

Absolutely breath taking! It's beyond any 5 star restaurant I have ever attended. WOW!

 

[marilynfl]

That's a 28-point Scrabble score + tie in (assuming no double/triple tiles).

You know...just in case anyone ever asks.

 

[CathyZ]

I was able to access the photos on Facebook. Just gorgeous. Must have spent hours on the hors 'd

 

[marilynfl]

harumphh! Why can't I see the food? Facebook and I are not compatible. Swipe left.

 

[richard-in-cincy]

Marilyn, try it again. I updated the URL link.

 

[marilynfl]

Thank you! I can now see your Babette's Feast. Both visually and culinarily stunning.

Culinarily? Is that even a word?

Damn. I had a bag of cheese popcorn for dinner.
