We had fun with this one - we were in Yakima and had a couple of fellas that Roy works with (on our travels) over for dinner and they were told to be very critical of the recipe.
I thot both recipes were written quite well and worked exactly as they were written. (I've had doubts/questions about previous c@h recipes) The flavors were great together also. As I'm still judging everything against the Chicken roulades (&tomato concasse), I give this one a 9. And the guys all said they'd give it a 10, but since they haven't had the chix dish 'yet', they'd go with a 9 also.
I must admit, I'll probably repeat the orzo and roasted veggies all by themselves more than I will add the tenderloin. I love the pasta/veggie combination - the balsamic reduction and goat cheese just finished off the dish perfectly for me.
I served Drunken Floats for dessert and had to send the recipe home with them.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
