I recently carpeted my patio with astroturf and figured that was as good a reason as any to throw a party, so I set up a bar, donned a party dress, and got to cooking. By the time we were ready to head to the bar, every crumb of food was gone and we had made a serious dent in the liquor, so I'm deeming the party a success. Here's a rundown of the menu:
- Potato wedges. Matt was impressed by how crispy the potatoes were. He asked if they were fried in duck fat. They weren't, but I took the fact that he thought they could have been as the highest compliment. I served the potatoes with - count 'em - two dips:
- Curry mayo
- Truffled ricotta (thank you Whole Foods for this delicioso spread, it made my mouth happy)
- Prosciuotto/asparagus bundles
- Grilled corn, cremini, and shrimp quesadillas. Made with two cheeses (jack and fontina) and served with pico de gallo and avocado
- Lemon artichoke tapenade, artichoke, and steak crostini
Of course, all the food tasted better because we were eating on my impossibly green astroturf.
