Had a couple of surprises yesterday while making reservations in this area (Lake City) - one park is a Nudist colony.....and one allows absolutely no liquor on the property... hmmmm, movin' on.
LOL!! I almost spewed my wine when I read this! I'm guessing no alcohol was the bigger challenge (it would have been for us)!
We had mu shu pork and hot and sour soup for dinner. The mu shu was wonderful, but the soup was not even edible. I knew adding cider vinegar was wrong, but I like to try recipes they way they are written the first time. This one won't get a second chance...

Vinegar does sound wrong! But I agree with trying it as written the first time. You never know.

We had a spinach and steak salad with Blue Cheese and mushrooms. It was very good. But I was surprised the kids and Steve were all satisfied with it for dinner!

Good grief that all sounds excellent, Cis.

It really was wonderful! The scallops appy was to die for, but I think I liked the duck best, We loved learning how they pair wines with food. One thing I know now I don't like the heavy red wines.
Also I'm going to try the beet/goat cheese mash for a side dish

"white truffle peach chutney" how yummy does that sound
"GRILLED FIVE SPICE DUCK BREAST" - I love seasoning duck with 5-spice. Bet it was wonderful!!!
"Also I'm going to try the beet/goat cheese mash for a side dish" - me too, Cis! To get an idea the ratio of beets to tatoes - were they a light or medium pink or on the reddish side????
Re: What's for Sunday Dinner, 2/10/13?? - farnfam - 02-12-2013
Light to medium pink, Jean. Mash potato type texture. Light seasoning.
