Yep, the french were back in town for work - which means dinner at the Smith abode. Bonus points this time around, since Patrick Emanuel's wife, Virginie, was in town to visit as well.Dinner menu was the usual:
Soup: Pumpkin (was going to serve it in a pumpkin, but it was losing structural integrity)
Appetizer: Poached egg (the real way) with wild mushrooms and toasted cumin
Main: Grilled Aged Ribeye
Cheese and Salad: Mostly from Capriole
Dessert: Standard Chocolate Coulant (too easy not to make)
And in case you don't recognize everyone . . . (seated from the left) Laurence Galocha, Theresa Weber, Patrick, Virginie Emanuel (standing from the left) Jim Weber, Philippe Duhau, Yours Truly, and Patrick Emanuel
