Saturday's Satisfying Supper
At the last minute we invited Ian's elder sister over for supper last evening warning her it would be simple fare. Having company was an excuse to try a couple of new easy looking recipes.
1. Tried the Cherry Rosemary Spread posted yesterday; decided to divide the goat cheese into two parts and added cherries to one half and cranberries to the other. Very nice served on date & walnut fougasse.
2. Prepared a very quick shrimp dip by throwing a small handful of previously frozen salad shrimp, a little red onion, a tbsp of horseradish and enough low fat mayo to make it a dip.
3. Made "Sirloin" Bourguignon Burgers which were a great success.
4. Enjoyed a bottle of Louis Bernard Cote -du-Rhone-Village with the burgers. Heavenly.
5. Actually served a bought dessert; not my usual style. We had fresh pineapple rings with a side of butter tarts.
6. Clean up was a breeze. smileys/bigsmile.gif I was very satisfied the meal was a so good with amazingly little preparation.
