Fancy Feast

Some friends of ours have a tradition they call "Fancy Feast". Once a month, they slave away in the kitchen all day and serve a fabulous meal for dinner. Two months ago we had the honor of being invited to Fancy Feast. Remember, two months ago were were temporary vegetarians - so Fancy Feast was vegetarian too. We started with beet soup (oh so pretty pink soup) with a Thai flare. This was followed by greens and goat cheese-stuffed phyllo. The main dish was mac and cheese orzo with fried tomatoes. Dessert was creme brulee (although we must have gobbled that up real quick, because we didn't get pictures).

After dinner, Jon declared that we would host Fancy Feast the next month! Gulp! Well, this time our friend was on a vegetarian kick due to a bet he made with a student of his. So again, a fully meat-free meal was prepared. Their's was better. We started with apple and sweet potato soup (which was tremendous). Next, a pear and croustini salad. The main dish was risotto-stuffed peppers. And dessert was homemade caramel apples (picture taken before the meal).

Well, we just had Fancy Feast number 3 - they invited us back. No one was playing around with vegetarianism this time, so we had some chicken. It was all fabulous. No picture though - the novelty is wearing off already. But it's great to have an absolutely amazing meal once a month - in the comfort of a home. Try it!
