KISD Dinner Party 2010

So, we had another charity dinner party out at my parents' house. It was an auction item for the Kerrville Independent School District. And we went with a 6-course meal, with wines paired by Peter Beeman.

1st Course:
Lobster Bisque with Chive Oil & Fresh Chives


2nd Course:
Spring Salad. Shredded Romaine with a Caramelized Onion Vinaigrette, Grape Tomatoes, Orange Segments, Hears of Palm, Cheve Cheese, and Sugared Pecans.


3rd Course:
Butter Poached Salmon with Risotto, Cream Asparagus & Red Pepper Oil.


4th Course:
Chicken Confit with Roasted Corn, Jalapeno Butter, Roasted Chicken Jus, Chicken Cracklings, and Fine Herbs.


5th Course:
Lamb Loin with a Brown Butter Fennel Puree, Sweet Pea & Mint Puree, and Glazed Carrots.


6th Course:
Bittersweet Chocolate Mouse in Chocolate Bowls with Whip Cream, Fresh Strawberries and a Vanilla Tuile Cookie Spoon.



We had tons of wonderful helpers as always. It was easily one of the most fun parties we have had.
