A Special Mid-week menu

There are days when one feels the need the cook to let of some steam. There are others when cooking plays a celebratory function. And there are days like today , when both situations arise. The good news is that I am able to use my passion for cooking to turn off the stress and celebrate a little at candlelight

So on this ultra-busy Thursday which included another good dose of heavy snow shoveling, I present to you today's late dinner proposal

Starter:
Opening Toast with chilled Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene

Wine:
NY Finger Lakes Region Riesling

Primi:
Spinach and Asiago Ravioli with a smoked pancetta, baby pea cream sauce

Secondi:
Pan-seared halibut mini-steaks
Wilted Radicchio with warm French Feta cheese
Baby Arugula salad topped with Fresh Crispy Trumpet Mushroom Chips





Halibut

Arugula salad

Dessert:
Key Lime Pie with twin dallops of Tahitian Vanilla ice cream


If you are wondering, dinner also comes with a gorgeous bouquet of red roses. Somebody will be very happy later this evening celebrating a very special anniversary.
