Is anything better than perfectly toasted asparagus topped with olive oil, parmesan, fried sweet potatoes and spices?
Yes.
Eating it with my entrepreneurial buds JT and Kelsey who joined me for an evening filled with tears of laughter and lots of wine.
Congrats to them for starting their own business! Check it out HERE!
The variety of textures was definitely hard to beat. The sweet and savory combo was a delicate blend of crispy and soft textures.
With spring at ramming speed, I've been able to bust out the sides of seasonal fruits and veggies as delectable and darn good looking filler.
I've also recently come to enjoy roasted red pepper feta cheese on french bread drizzled with honey.
Of course I'd probably take any excuse to bust out my honey dipper. (What?!)
The peaches I picked up were at peak ripeness and tasted even better than they looked.
The strawberries followed suit just so they wouldn't be forgotten.
The warm asparagus was countered well by a fresh springy salad tossed with cashews, white onion, strawberries, cucumber shavings and goat cheese.
yum.
Although everything looks delicious, the table was a little naked without the main dish.
Once the cilantro pesto chicken with roasted red peppers, scallions, feta and bacon was brought to the table the meal looked a little more complete.
After dinner JT, Kelsey and I watched Inception with running commentary from these guys.
Don't get me wrong. Inception is a brilliant, amazing movie not to be taken lightly but,
the MST3K guys do a great job shedding new light on an inevitably transcendent film.
These past two weeks have been flying by at the speed of smell and I'm more than ready for them to be over.
