Yesterday, Thanksgiving, was also my Lady's Birthday.
As per her request, we forwent any consideration of birds, and went with a fine Fondue.
Whitetail, Lamb, Beef & Pork Tenderloin surrounded by all the veggie goodies.
Dips were Asiago & Artichoke, Tzatziki, Lemon Dill (sour cream base), Chipotle, BarBee Sauce and Spicy Thai.
And of course the usual uber-fine Merlot!
May have found a use for Trudeau after all. Turns out he burns quite well... LOL!
Candlelit Dinner for Two:
Unbeknown to my Darling, one of our Buddies from down Island was up to creating a rather special sign off to this fine meal.
He took a great light & fluffy chocolate cake recipe, combined with with our own Peach / Blackberry jam for the mid-layer, real whipped cream topping with our own version of Black Forest Cherries. Then a light dusting of Cinnamon for that finished Look.
He then carefully packaged it up, and drove the hour each way simply to drop this off for the Celebration!
To suggest that one "
knocked it out of the park" would be a grievous understatement!
Absolutely Superb!!
Hat's off to VanIsleCam!! Extremely well done my Friend!
My Lady was much more than Impressed!!
Overall an extremely wonderful evening.
Cheers!

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
That's strange Nog, just a couple hours ago my neighbor was telling me about how delicious the shanks are. I never heard of anyone making them until he mentioned it, now you post about it and those absolutely do look delicious!
