Everything Citrus ~ February 2017



Thinking of bringing a little warm to our New England winter - we highlighted "citrus".  How ironic that blizzard Niko arrived the same day.  The evening was almost a bust - but thank goodness for Larry!  Our very own taxi service in Larry's plow truck.  He saved the night!

Denise greeted us with lemon drop martinis...

We enjoyed lemon chicken - moist, tangy - really good! A quinoa spinach and raisin salad and roasted fennel with pomegranate seeds both served with a lemon vinaigrette.  A nutty orange basmati rice and sautéed mixed vegetables.  Seriously - and that was just dinner!

For dessert we had lemon cake, lime macaroons, candied grapefruit peel and lemon frozen ice served in hollowed out limes - too cute!

Another amazing evening with my cooking club friends... this time +1 with Larry!  Great night - food - drinks and friends.
