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.
