| - First, Samy delivered some two beautiful plates of food. Some breathtaking tapenade and some truly epic lemon garlic hummus, and Amy's fresh made herb flat bread. The bread was warm and delicious, with just the right amount of crunch & chew. Topped off with a hummus that had a real lemon zing to it was a perfect way to wake up our palates.
Next we were presented with a Spicy Asian Chicken Salad that was fresh, crunchy, and had just the right amount of spicy goodness to really get our mouths watering. As a contrast to the spicy salad, we were also treated to a Baby Arugula and Pear Salad. This was one of the highlights of the night for me. Samy and Amy have hit a home run of Babe Ruth like proportions with this salad. The fresh pear, dried cranberries and honey citrus dressing danced on our taste-buds like sweet bursts of flavored sunlight. I try not to over embellish but I was almost mad that I had to share this salad with the other guests at our table!
Amy had spent the day hand-making pasta for our dinner of Papperdalle, with videos on Instagram to prove it, which came with either a rich and savory Bolognese Sauce, or a light creamy pesto. This was the first time I had ever experienced pasta that didn't come from a box, and I've got to tell you that it was Earth shattering. The taste is completely different, and I know it was a truly remarkable dish because I couldn't stop smiling as I ate it!
We ended the night with coffee & dessert, which if you don't know, is where Amy is a real super star! With a multitude of options, and an endless supply of cakes, pies, and confectionery delights, we wrapped up what was extraordinarily memorable evening.
