At Home Dinner Review
Monday, March 10th, 2008After our day at Great Pond Bay, we decided to eat at home. There were some nice scallops in the freezer, some Southgate Farm organic salad greens, baby heirloom tomatoes and basil, fresh mozzarella, and a bottle of Crossing Vineyards Sparkling Blanc de Blancs in the fridge. We could really do something with all that.
So we (I mean I) did. Well, Michael opened the bottle. He did a good job, too. It was VERY fizzy and squirted out all over the place. And it was lovely. Crisp and dry, just the way I like it. We have been fortunate enough, this year, to have met Tom and Chris Carroll who own the Crossing Vineyards and Winery in Pennsylvania. And they gave us a bottle of their fabulous sparkling wine. Tom’s words as we left were, “Don’t save it for a special occasion, just drink it”. So we did. And it was sort of a special occasion. It was Sunday and we had a day off.
I assembled a salad with the greens, mozzarella, basil and tomatoes, and whipped up a Coquilles St. Jacques over brown rice pilaf. Goliath shared a bit of it with us and gave it two paws up!
