GWSmith Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Here is a closeup of my plate, a very nice mushroom-garlic pasta sauce with linguini........ A French Pino Noir from our wine club (young, but excellent!). Chris is enjoying his leftover rigitoni as well.... I have added the usual fresh chopped broad leaf parsley. Thats all from here, short and sweet [Y] ..............g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Good evening foodies! I know its been a couple of months and HIGH TIME for a few new photos from ME! So, here we go.... A Saturday night, and when I am NOT on stage with the Arthur Holmes Blues Band at a show, I spend it home with Chris enjoying 'A Prarie Home Companion' ... Here is a photo of our nosh plates.......... I put together on very delicate Italian crackers, smoked salmon, Wendsleydale cheese (from Whole Foods) and fresh organic parsley for Chris. Mine are without the cheese but with a HOT Thai chilie sauce instead... Some garlic and hot pepper mix, various olives and pepperdew peppers. Wine was from my ever present BOX O Wine..........Carlo Rossie Founders Oak Cab, a tad sweet for me, but good enough for 'during the week' consumption.

GWSmith Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks for your compliments Boxx.............Here we are, again using those over sized plates........but, yes, you are correct, the are very much worth the trouble of washing by hand. When Chris and I head down south to visit my dad, we will stop in that store and pick up two more of these plates, which will be in a different colour of course [] The wine for that pasta dish was VERY good and I hope you get it in your next wine club shippment ! Meanwhile, hope you enjoyed tonight's dinner photos AND white wine selection which was most excellent [] .......Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
