We did comment on how fortunate we were to live in this area. This place where culinary indulgences are abundant. On this day that was MFK Fisher's Birthday, reading an excerpt from a book titled: "Gluttony." A sin?? Oh, we do not think so.
However, the day did begin lazily late, toasting the Sunday with a bottle of Iron Horse Wedding Cuvee' at noon with a nibble of warm home-made banana bread.
On this November 9th afternoon - the sun did shine wholly but more gently on the veranda where we took up residence for two hours. A plate of two quiches - a classic Lorraine and a pretty Artichoke with cheese, roasted potatoes, and slices of bacon-wrapped lavendar brushed pork tenderloin. A cool bowl of crane melon and watermelon cubes accompanied the savory goodies, and we washed it all down with hot english tea with milk and honey.
Not enough - we had to end the afternoon with a bite of Chef D' Love's fudgy silky brownies and a bottle of Harvest Moon Sparkling Dry Gewurtztraminer.
A toast to Sundays! A toast to Sonoma County! A toast for friends to share it with!
