Today I received a drool-inducing item in the mail: the rehearsal dinner invitation to J’s wedding over New Years. There was a return envelope enclosed, and I thought it was an RSVP card but NO! It was a list of entrees for the rehearsal dinner — ‘please initial your entree.’ GASPPPPPPPPPPP!!! On the list were the following:
- Asparagus, cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs and fava beans in puff pastry with hollandaise sauce
- Pave of salmon with vegetables tian, pomme chateau and sorel cream sauce
- Cilantro and cornbread stuffed quail and grilled petit filet with madeira sauce and vegetable julienne galette
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP.
I have no friggen idea what the first two items are, and I have no idea what madeira sauce or vegetable julienne galette is, BUT I SURE KNOW WHAT CILANTRO AND CORNBREAD STUFFED QUAIL IS. THAT’S RIGHT. IT’S DELICIOUSNESS. Rather than initials, I put a huge teethy smiley face and 5 exclamation points next to entree #3.
😀 !!!!!
If this is just the rehearsal dinner, I can’t even imagine what the wedding food will be like. Crossing my fingers it’s like Thanksgiving.
