新年前夜的晚餐當然要隆重一點。又要好吃，又要有節日氣氛，從餐前酒到色拉，到正餐和配菜，最後到甜點，還要相互呼應搭配。想來想去，還是做蘋果紅梅烤鴨吧.
The 1-week spent with Mary, Chris's auntie and a gourmet cook, during the Christmas, not only increased the readings of my weight but also totally enhanced my desire to serve gourmet food.
Chris often rips us going too far with the food presentation and cooking. Oh well...As long as I am fine with him going nuts with his bikes, he should have nothing to complain about me being slightly more sophisticated than what he preferred on food.
With all the trainings provided by Mary and Cathy (Chris' mom), here below was what I came up with for the New Year Eve dinner.
Some snack before the dinner. Apple and sharp cheddar cheese always go very well together.
Blue cheese, rosemary whole wheat cracker, blue potato chips are our favorite.
Sun-dried tomato pesto for dipping the bread.
Man! So much work to have a dinner table like this! Chris complained the whole way though for taking so many "damn pictures" (in his own words).
Drink - Pomegranate Champaigntini. Salad - Endive Black Berry Salad with Goat Cheese and Diced Apples
Main Course - Roast Duck with Apple and Cranberries
Desert - Apple-topped Ginger Bread
今夜星光燦爛！可是今晚誰來吃晚歺？
