The fog has been rolling in over the San Franciscan hills for more than a week now. This time of year the sun should greet our early morning minds but that hasn't happened - yet. So in waiting for the sun to come out and play we headed down to K&L wines for some casual pleasure. The friendly K&L fellas loaded up our trunk with a few cases and off we were to the new cheese store on Polk and Pacific. An Emmantaler, a Roquefort, a Brie, A Taleggio and some Parmesan Reggiano later we were off to cook lunch.
On today's menu we have a home made pesto sauce with fresh pasta and some newly grated parmesan drizzled lightly on top. Just something to wet our appetite for tonight's dinner. We are planning a cheese plate to get the taste buds going accompanied with some wine from the french region of St.Julien. Then a Swiss (not French) Onion Soup with Emmantaler cheese and home made croutons. On the side, we'll have a simple Bibb Salad sprinkled with Kosher salt, olive oil, peppar and Dijon mustard. Our choice of beverage would be a cab from Mendoza in Argentina. Ahh, forgot to mention the newly baked bread with garlic butter and basil.
I think the above should do the trick, i.e. get us into the pleasure dome where life is good and filled with love.
