What's for Dinner, Sun., June 12, 2022
First course was pasta: beggar's purses. Fresh pasta. His friend he was with in CT is the manufacturer of this pasta. The RG made the sauce with tomato, cream, herbs, parmesan.
He was coming back from CT so he picked me up a filet mignon from Balducci's (my request--probably haven't had anything like that in a year). Then he made a black truffle sauce for it, which also had butter and cream in it. Rosemary, garlic, and lots of black pepper. He cooked the meat on both sides on a bed of garlic in a cast iron skillet. Then cooked in butter and browned. He gave me a little bowl of truffle sauce to dip each slice in.
Scalloped potatoes with leeks, goat cheese, butter, etc.
Corn cut from the cob. Caramelized in....you guessed it! Butter.
Now, here's the funny part. Each of us had gone to Whole Foods, also, and we bought the same things: tiramisu, almond cake, and a particular type of olive oil. He bought these itms at the WF in CT and I in NJ.
That's dessert, along with cold coffee.

Corn from WHERE? No local fresh corn here yet.
