Dinner in Burgundy

20 Friday Jan 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Party Time, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, What's For Dinner?, Wine and Food

≈ Leave a comment


Another fantastic Wine Dinner at Le Cafe de Paris. Here is how Mathieu described the dinner. It was awesome!

“French Region Night this month will feature the region of Burgundy, where I was born and raised! We have recently acquired several new wine labels from the area and a fabulous four course menu of classic cuisine from the area with be featured! The dinner itself is $39/person and as always we will have our resident sommelier, Christian Lamotte, there to pair our fabulous wines.”

Here is the wine we had with dinner. A 2007 Pernand-Vergelesses. It went very well with our dinner.

Some folks who were at the same table as ours. Mr Quinlin (right) and friends. Great conversation and thanks for sharing the wine!

Escargot Bogon et Gougeres
(Burgundy Snails)
burgundy butter with pastis

Salade Paysanne
(Burgundy Country Salad)
field greens, croutons, bacon lardons, ozark poached egg

I tried to get a photo of the egg prep. It did not come out. They break the egg in cheese cloth and then tie it up so it keeps it shape. They cook it in the cheese cloth.

Sandre en Papillote
walleye filet with aromatics baked in parchment, rice pilaf, braised brussel sprouts

Note: We had never had Walleye before. It was delicious! Mild and slightly sweet. Not a strong “fishy” taste. I’d have it again.

Coq au Vin
(Red Wine Chicken)
housemade taggliatelle, braised brussel sprouts

Île Flottante
(Floating Island)
poached meringue, crème anglaise, almonds

Fresh Ham

15 Sunday Jan 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Ham, Party Time, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, Recipe: Bob and Robin Young, What's For Dinner?

≈ 1 Comment


Right now, the house is filled with the smell of citrus and clove. The fresh ham, pictured here about to go into the oven, looks so delicious! The recipe for the ham, can be found by Clicking Here. It takes some time, but is well worth it. The original thought was to make enough so we can slice some down for sandwiches and I think we will have plenty. (Our Grandson Chris and his Girlfriend Madison gave us a meat slicer for Christmas.) This fresh ham (pork shoulder) was $1.35 per pound and it is boneless. It is so lean and not much fat at all. Enjoy!

The Fresh Ham came out of the oven and rested 15 minutes. Here it is sliced. (I made that platter!)

the Buzz Wine Club Dinner – Wine and the Media

11 Wednesday Jan 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Party Time, Photos By: Bob Young, Things To Do, Wine and Food

≈ Leave a comment


Another good Wine Club Dinner at the Buzz in Boise! The theme was Wine In The Media or Media in the Wine. In her opening comments, Cristi stated that, “In this age of information we are exposed to a variety of sources for our information. We must determine who and what to relate to or we will go into information overload … Over the next twelve months we will discuss different media formats for wine reviews and suggestions. You will hopefully find avenues of information that are helpful and those [avenues] to take with a grain of salt.” Tonight, Cristi choose to explore the reviewing of Natalie McClain, wine critic, writer, TV personality and critic from Canada. You can see her web site at Nat Decants. This site is well worth a look/see. Interesting information that may help you in your next wine selection. Once again, the ratings of the wines that we had are based on a top score of [20]. Cheers!

Appetizer
Cece Fritos and Vegetable Masala Fritters

2009 La Sefreta
13.0% alc, good color depth with a clean and fresh nose. [16]

Chop Chop Salad

2010 Essence Riesling Mosel
10% alc, bright color and a great clean and fruity nose. good sweetness [17]

Four Grain Tomato Soup

2010 KMV Pinotage (South Africa)
14% alc, great color, great balance of tannin and acid. great paring with the soup [18]

Italian Meatloaf
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Peas and Leeks
Roasted Green Beans

2007 Molines Cabernet Sauvignon (France)
14% alc, good color but light on the general appeal. good tannin/acid balance, though. [16]

Hot/Hot Chocolate Cake Floating Islands

2010 Morse Code Shiraz (Australia)
14.5% alc, another great paring with the dessert. good sweetness and body.[18]

So there you have our dinner and wine parings. Where else can you get a plated dinner like this, seven wines (Cristi had two to share before the party started), and such great company for $15.00 per person!!! And my favorites for the evening? The 2010 Morse Code Shiraz (Australia) with the Hot/Hot Chocolate Cake Floating Islands and the 2010 KMV Pinotage (South Africa) with the Four Grain Tomato Soup. Cheers!

Kiffle Kulture

09 Monday Jan 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Dessert, German Recipes, Party Time, Pennsylvania Dutch, Special Information

≈ Leave a comment


So what is Kiffle Kulture?
From Living Here In Allentown, we find that Kiffle Kulture is:

… the kiffle is ubiquitous around homes in the Lehigh Valley and can even be found in local supermarkets depending on the time of year. However, the kiffle is not traditional to the Pa. Dutch nor was it traditional to the Palatine on the Rhine region of Germany from which the Pa. Dutch emigrated. In fact, the kiffle’s roots are much further East in the Austro-Hungarian empire. It was brought to the Lehigh Valley by eastern-European and Slavic immigrants around the turn of the twentieth century.
I don’t know too much about the food-history of the kiffle. I can’t even find an etymology of the word in Hungarian, English, or German. They are a simple pastry made from flour, eggs, butter, and cream cheese. Unfortunately, they have to be homemade if you want top quality. Kiffles bought from the store taste flat and dull to me. (They are also quite expensive and not worth the money). Additionally, I am told that there is only one commercial baker in the Lehigh Valley who supplies all other retail markets so it is unlikely that quality in the retail kiffle market is going to rise anytime soon.

The link above will take you to the recipe and more information on this dessert. Have fun with this recipe and the blog page from Allentown, PA. (The photo is from that blog.) Thanks John Jay for sharing this information. Cheers!

New Years Day Pork and Sauerkraut Dinner

02 Monday Jan 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in German Recipes, Party Time, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, Special Dinners, What's For Dinner?

≈ 1 Comment


New Years Day, 2012. A great day and a great start to the new year. The photo to the left is the Pennsylvania Dutch New Years Day Pork and Sauerkraut dinner. It’s a one-pot meal. (Follow the link for the recipe!) The pork and all really turned out good. Marnie and Mac and Margaret (Maggie) joined us for dinner and I think everyone took some home, too. Great flavors with the rub and the sauerkraut that we made. We started the sauerkraut 12 weeks ago. 

And then we dug in our wine supply and got these two wines for dinner. They went really well with dinner, but it is time to drink them. How was your New Years Day dinner? We’d like to hear. Cheers!

New Years Eve at Le Café de Paris in Boise

01 Sunday Jan 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Party Time, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, Things To Do, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


There are probably 100 different ways to celebrate the New Year. We chose to celebrate it here at the Le Café de Paris, one of our great restaurants here in Boise. It’s worth a trip to Boise just to eat here. Especially, on a special dinner night. I have been known to drive several hundred miles for dinner, then return home and go to work. That was on the East coast and I would probably do the same here. Look at the dinner that we had. It Was Awesome! Sorry you missed it! Happy New Year everyone!

Robin

2005 Château Peyros Madiran 
went very well with most of the meal. It did not pair well with the lobster.

Huîtres Sur La Demi-Coquille
oysters on the half shell with green apple-champagne mignonette

Veloute d’Asperges
creamy asparagus soup with red pepper coulis

Ficelle de Homard
baked lobster mousse stuffed baguette

Carre d’Agneau
herb encrusted lamb chops
Sauce Choron
Bleu Cheese and Caramelized Onion Pave Potato
Fresh Roasted Asparagus

Gâteau de Kir Royal
berry jus and crème anglais

What a delightful way to start the New Year! Can it get any better? Not in Boise! Thanks so very much to the entire staff at Le Café de Paris for this delightful meal, your hospitality and your friendship. We hope your 2012 is a great one for you. Cheers! And if you are wondering what a Sauce Choron is, here is the definition:

A Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce made pink with tomato puree. Created by Alexander Etienne Choron, a French chef. Sauce Choron is a variation of béarnaise without tarragon or chervil, plus added tomato purée.

The Sauce Choron is a variation on one of the Mother Sauces. Try it sometime. So there you have our New Years Eve dinner. It was superb!
