Last night a friend and I made dinner for my husband. It is his birthday on Tuesday. She loves to cook (like me), so we asked him his favorite dish and went with it.
It wasn't actually that easy. At first he responded with "what's yours?". Then he picked mine. I had said lobster. There really wasn't much of a chance that I was making lobster. All week he pondered his favorite dish. On Wednesday night he decided to google the menu of Calhoun Corners. It is a fancy restaurant in Clemson. He said he had his favorite dish there. So be picked steak with a mushroom and prosciutto cognac sauce and banana cream pie.
So we had a starting point. We came up with the rest of the menu and went to work on figuring out how to make the sauce.
The menu was:
Appetizers
Pumpkin dip with gingersnap crackers
Shrimp cocktail
Salad
Autumn Salad with lemon poppy seed dressing
Main Dish
NY Strip Steaks w/ mushroom and prosciutto brandy sauce
Roasted potatoes
Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower
Dessert
Banana Creme Pie
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake with Caramel sauce
I will include recipes for the meal later on this week. Suffice it to say, dinner was delicious!
