Yes.\u00a0 We did scatter dried rose petals all over the floor.\u00a0 Yes, we did have a cello duet playing.\u00a0 And yes, there were truffles.\u00a0 And wine!\u00a0 Elizabeth and I had this dinner at Jospeh Jane Winery.\u00a0 It was all very romantic.\u00a0 Except in the kitchen.\u00a0 Where I was freaking out.<\/p>\n

What I love about Leon and Kayla….the owners of Joseph Jane…is how laid back they are.\u00a0 They are just truly wonderful people.\u00a0 There’s no weirdness, no pretentiousness, and no drama.\u00a0 Their baby is adorable and the dogs love to play.\u00a0 And I can’t stop drinking the wine.\u00a0 It’s just a fantastic group to be around so it made sense to do it there.<\/p>\n

Yes, I know it is way past Valentine’s Day.\u00a0 But just when I was getting ready to do this post, we lost power for three or four days in the snowpocalypse.\u00a0 We survived!\u00a0 Elizabeth says there’s another storm on the way and she is still without power as I type this.<\/p>\n

We did six courses.\u00a0 Here’s the pictorial:<\/p>\n

The menu!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The table…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The all belly porchetta and the cause for my freaking out.\u00a0 It was falling apart while slicing and I was losing my mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The notorious cauliflower soup with Norwegian lobster, candied orange peel confit, vanilla oil, and pistachio.\u00a0 I beefed it up with my pumpkin vegetable stock this time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The team in process….(ugh my double chin gross)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sous vide American Wagyu beef in black currant merlot sauce sprinkled with maldon salt with roasted garlic and leek knishes.\u00a0 No one got a pic of the vegetables, which were white wine creamed spinach gratin with bacon and herb salted roast broccolini with shaved romano.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And once again, we missed the pics of the sorbet, which was kiwi.\u00a0 Le sigh.<\/p>\n

The salad of baby greens, jicama, strawberries, Cara Cara oranges, and cucumber in balsamic and shallot cream<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dessert!\u00a0 Chocolate ancho pie with fresh vanilla cream dusted with cinnamon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The guests….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some of the guests ordered truffles to take home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The end of the meal….I love talking to people about what they liked and what they didn’t like.\u00a0 Some felt there was a little too much food.\u00a0 Oh darn!\u00a0 Lots of pie was taken home.<\/p>\n
