Le Garage

Oohh, Le Garage, what delight you brought me on a meandering Monday afternoon!

We sailed up for a quick glass of wine to celebrate Rachel's engagement. (Congrats, Rachel and John!)  After a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape and a hello from Chef Gaby (our French cuisine instructor from Kitchen on Fire) we decided to linger a while longer. 

Gaby brought us out a special treat, a smoked salmon tartine with creme fraiche, delicately nuanced with lemon verbena.   Merci, Gaby!

I could have remained all day savoring the second bottle of Chateaneuf, the gentle sunlight, and the flavor of anticipation. 

We ordered also a smattering of snacks, including Dungeness crab stuffed squash blossoms, a beet salad, and PEI mussels with merguez sausage, shallots, white wine and pastis. 

And then we ate happily ever after ...
