Scenes from Woody's Birthday dinner:
Focaccia with Oil and Balsamic dip
My First Course
Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Truffle Oil, Pecorino
Woody's First Course:
White Bean and Roasted Garlic Dip, Truffle Oil, Lemon Zest, Crostini
My Second Course
Eggplant Rigatoni, Tomato Ragu, Mozzarella, Fresh Herbs, Virgin Oil
Woody's Second Course
Breaded Veal Piccata, Lemon, Capers, White Balsamic Butter, Linguine, Herbs
Desserts were an undistinguished Tiramisu and a very bland Bread Pudding
Fortunately, Woody was much more impressed than I was.
