I heart Texas- Part II

We were lucky enough to be invited over for dinner at Liz and Tommy’s place again last night.

David has been very excited to cook with Chuck since we met him last month, and was hoping pick up some new techniques and dishes and to hear some more of his great stories. Expectations were high and the evening certainly did not disappoint.

The men got to work in the kitchen while the ladies enjoyed an aperitif.


Our tapas-style dinner featured:

A yummy salmon carpaccio with caviar, onions, cream cheese,capers, and boiled eggs on toasted rounds of Italian bread.

A rustic bruschetta with sliced tomatoes with mozzarella cheese, fresh basil,black and green Greek olives, sun dried tomatoes and olive oil.

Poached shrimp with a zesty and wonderful New Orleans red sauce and a southern Louisiana remoulade sauce.

We also had grilled shrimp in a delicious and rich garlic butter sauce.




Our amazing hosts

Our decadent dessert was strawberries Romanoff with Ameretto Cream



deeeee-lish!




Even Abbey wanted a taste of the fun!




We did indeed hear some more great stories and had so much fun. The food, wine and company were amazing and we feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to see Chuck again before he went back to Texas. We hope to have him over the next time he is in the area.

Thanks so much to Liz and Tommy for hosting us again!
