First Dinner (Theme: French Bistro)

The first dinner went great. Here are the photos...


Mussels and Pate with a French Baguette
Course 1 (Light/was Course 2 but since it was hot, we started with this first):

Louis Roederer Champagne paired with the Mussels.

Mussels with slices of bread to soak up the sauce.

Pate with bread awaits.

A toast to friends and food...and wine (and champagne)...and...

Pate. Some of us love pate too much.

Fabulicious tart with sorbet.

An excellent way to end the dinner!
