Dinner

If you follow me on Twitter, or chat with me, you've probably heard about what I cooked for dinner tonight. The menu:

Arugula and grapefruit salad, with toasted chestnuts.
Toasted whole wheat baguette with aioli.

Sauteed swiss chard and portobello mushrooms, with prosciutto.
Bouillabaisse.

All of that with a nice Pinot Grigio. And for desert:

Portuguese egg tarts.
Espresso.


I purchased the tarts, but made everything else from scratch. Time consuming but easy. This was a really great meal! The salad was perfectly balanced: crispy, crunchy, soft; sweet and tart. The bouillabaisse turned out quite nicely. It was my first time making it, and heck, my first time working with lobster, but definitely a success. :D
