Once my blog is launched, I will share my favourite way to crimson the pasta. We dined in style atop Grouse mountain in the observatory for the Chef's 6 course sampler. A highlight for me was the Sunchoked & Roasted Shallot Soup with smoked cod and braised lentils. Need I say more?? Besides being a little tepid (likely due to the number of guests being served at the same time, but hardly a complaint), the soup was stellar and warmed the cockles of my heart. And the other highlight was the Beef Duo which consisted of a Seared tenderloin which was as tender and moist as a piece of chocolate cake and the braised shortrib ravioli in red wine & bone marrow sauce (Brent's favourite-- I will have to figure out how to deconstruct it). Wines: Schloss Gobelsburg Gruner Veltliner 2006 and Calona Pinot Noir 2007. What a lovely romantic dinner! Once my blog is launched, I will share my favourite way to crimson the pasta.

As for a pasta roller, next time check Bosa on Boundary. They've got lots of great Italian cooking accessories. That’s a great looking menu!

My wife likes Spanish food, so I opted for a relaxed, progressive dinner with a bottle of 2005 Les Alcusses from Valencia: Tostadas: Jamon Serrano and Manchego with quince Gambas al pil pil Garlic/Rosemary-marinated lamb chops with sauteed mushrooms Chocolate raspberry torte with Russian Imperial Stout Mexican Chocolate with dark chocolate biscuits while watching the original Frost-Nixon interviews (romantic, huh?) Nice-looking dinner, Karen.
