The highlights of dinner tomorrow at Chez Frog and Goat:
Marinated Mussels and Roasted Red Bell Peppers served on sourdough crusty bread as an appetizer.
Roast Leg of Veal with Wild Mushroom Sauce and Walnuts as the entree.
Cranberry-Walnut Tart for dessert.
The appetizer and entree recipes are from The Wine Lover’s Cookbook by Sid Goldstein.
The dessert is from Food & Wine 2000.
We closed at noon today but the director let us go at 11. I was waiting in line to buy the mussels at the time I should have been walking out of the building. Always a good sign when the fish monger is busy and lots of customers are the repeat customer variety. And, by repeat customer, I mean they are all so chummy that the customer and counter person are trading suggestions for good reads.

Sounds delicious! You must be a gourmet cook!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Frog and Goat!
Your dinner looked fabulous!
That tray that you have your appetizers on looks very familiar to me…that wouldn’t happen to be the “Pine Sprig Tray” from Southern Living at Home would it? If it’s not, it sure looks very close to it.
Amy, I know you do Southern Living shows so yesterday afternoon when I got that tray out I said I bet this tray will get noticed. And, sure enough you did notice it. It is the Pine Sprig Tray. A friend hosted a party several years ago and I bought that tray from her party (actually I didn’t go to the party–just asked her to add it to the list).
Wow, I’m surprised I guessed it! I love that tray…it’s very pretty and your appetizers look very inviting!!!
