Sweet & Savory

A Momentus Feast!

A and I have been really bad about posting. *sheepish* Trying to stay on a healthy well-balanced diet and exercising every day can make maintaining a food blog a wee bit difficult. :( I mean, who wants to see or hear about all the turkey and cucumber whole wheat sandwiches we ate?!

However....

We did have one particularly exciting dinner, about a week ago, that is worth posting. Our friend Joy invited us over for an eight-course extravagant meal that she had prepared. Nope, this wasn't take-out or from a caterer. I am in awe of what she accomplished considering how much prep goes into a meal like this! Look at how many plates we went through!

spicy gazpacho shooter
watermelon-tomato skewer "ferran adria"

blistered corn soup
corn foam, roasted corn, white corn ice

fig, prosciutto, and arugula salad
manchego cheese, marcona almonds, balsamic reduction

seared sea scallop with edamame puree

trio of duck
pan-seared duck breast with quince-onion-potato puree and quince jus
duck confit with caramelized quince
duck hash with yukon gold potatoes, onion, and sauteed quince

pomegranate sorbet

confit of peach with petit suisse

warm chocolate ganache cake
bruléed bananas, yogurt sorbet, chocolate dentelle

And that concludes the end of our fabulous meal. Now who is going to do the dishes? :)
