We had a great weekend with friends. The Murrays came with the kids, Krisitn's famous peanut butter fudge and some venison. Danny made fois gras mashed potatoes, Jay and Danny both made the venison and I made the blood-orange salad. All of it was just fantastic.
Zachary the new bread guy at Georges', came and brought wonderful cognac brioche. My nephew Pat and his wife Jessica were also here and left an antique, personal- sized, wine-press. I love it, thanx kids!
So last night Danny, Bailey Hale and I met up to trade chickens. The interesting part is that we did it at Le Bec Fin. Inside we did the Grande Degustation. What can I say?
I do need to say congratulations to Bailey Hale and the MODA Botanica team for getting Best in Show at the Philadelphia Flower Show, along with four other awards. How terrific is that? Way to go!
I took 23 cockerels to the Mennonite farm today. Now I'm going to have to get a freezer. There will be a lot of chicken pot pie, cacciatore, chicken and pastry, Italian Wedding or Holiday soup, with lots and lots and lots of other chicken dinners. Raising your own, makes such a difference.
I have to say, I've seen that Italian email going around about the wedding soup and how there are no Italians in it, etc. Let me just say this, ever since I can remember, everyone in my family called it Italian Wedding Soup. Really, who cares what it's called, it's so good.
OK, so here is another emu egg painting. It's called "Tipping the Scale--Emu Egg on an Antique Egg Scale", 5"x7", oil on gessobord, $50. framed.
Another busy one tomorrow. 'Nite.
