Pizza Party

Here’s the Pizza Party video…

Wine List for Dinner tonight

2005 “Persia” Domaine de Fondreche
The flagship, tho is a 10 year old bottle of Chateauneuf de Pape, care of Paul Brown. Should be killer.
Bruno is bringing as yet unknown Cabernet Sauvignon.

This last weekend was Pate de Feuilles

It’s like this:
You take 2 1/2 sticks of butter and you form a pad about 4 inches square and 1/4 inch thick.
You make a simple dough from flour, salt and water. You roll this out so that it is just a bit more than 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. You place the butter […]

Onion Soup

It was alot of fun!
