I had an inexplicable craving for bouillábaissé. Something light for the weekend too. With bread or something. Off to the supermarket the man went early Sunday morning.
The man decided to indulge me, and also rustled up friends to make an impromptu casual dinner for 8. He spent 5 hours laboring in the kitchen.
Menu consisted of:
Starters:
Duck paté. Mushroom dip. Pita bread. Honeyed crackers.
Mains:
Bouillábaissé on buttered basmati rice. Black pepper roast chicken. Rouille.
Dessert:
Tiramisu gelato. Camembert cheese slices.
Liquid Poison:
2002 Grenache Chilean red. 42 Below Manuka Honey with cranberry juice. San Pellegrino sparkling. Godiva hazelnut-vanilla coffee.
It stormed at 2030hrs. Perfect accompaniment to the bowls of steaming hot bouillábaissé.
