Once again the mid summer has come and gone without the culminating blow out shindig that I always plan to do. I guess unless you live in the land of the midnight sun, The summer solstice doesn't mean much, the longest day of the year quietly passes into night.
However since our good friends from New Jersey were in town we took the opportunity to spin again some of the house favorites.
With a few things from the potager, I recreated the Chicken Liver Sausage, which we enjoyed for an appetizer.
We followed that with another edition of the mini-porchetta, this time instead of using pork shoulder, I wrapped a boneless loin with the pork belly.
To accompany the rôti de porc, La Bonne Femme, ripped a receipe from Gourmet, May 2007, for Aligot with Horseradish cream.
(ah-LEE-go) uh-huh.
For dessert mint ice cream on cornmeal sugar cookies (Gourmet, July 2007).
And we ended the evening as we began it: En pleine air avec trop de vin de citron et menthe.
Cheers.
