Pan-Seared Scallops with a Tomato-White Chocolate Beurre Blanc
Today is my birthday. So indulge me here . . . Hubby suggested we go out to dinner. For me, going out to dinner is a problem – when it comes to food, I have very expensive, elaborate tastes. In our little neck of the woods, there are no Five-Star French Restaurants. I’m not sure we have any Five-Star restaurants close by. I suppose we could drive to San Francisco and splurge with a ten-course supper at Quince. Both the menu and the price are fixed – oh bother!

Codfish a La Lyonnaise with Tender Fiddleheads

One of the most famous, most recreated menus on the planet has to be the Last Supper aboard the Titanic. I haven’t a clue as to why the sinking of this grand ocean liner holds such a romantically tragic place in the social physic, but it does. The Titanic has been the subject of many books, films and television programs. Immediately following the loss at sea, the public seemed unable to get enough and that appetite carried forward throughout the years. In all there were a total of 19 films and 27 Television productions, including a 1971 episode of Night Gallery entitled Lone Survivor.
Filetti di Salmone Pacchi with Provence Mixed Green Salad
First off, this recipe came to me about four years ago from That Skinny Chick Can Bake; who adapted it from her friend over at Manu’s Menu. So I wanted to give credit where credit is due and thank you both for the superb inspiration. As always, I did a little tweaking of my own, and I hope you do the same. The original recipe was part of Manu’s Italian Christmas Menu. I mention this with good reason . . .
