The State (of my) Dinner

Tri-colore pasta (imported from Italy) with peas and Pesto (imported from Italy), surrounding a baked salmon fillet.

Obviously, it was quite delicious!

I'll cap this off with an after-dinner brandy (imported from California) and probably some Del Monte peach slices in light syrup.

*********

In DC tonight, the menu reads like this:

Jicama with Oranges, Grapefruit, and Pineapple

Citrus Vinaigrette

Ulises Valdez Chardonnay 2007 "Russian River"

Herb Green Ceviche of Hawaiian Opah

Sesame-Cilantro Cracker

Oregon Wagyu Beef in Oaxacan Black Mole
(Wagyu, again? At about $100 per pound?)

Black Bean Tamalon and Grilled Green Beans

Herrera Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 "Seleccion Rebecca"

Chocolate-Cajeta Tart

Toasted Homemade Marshmallows
(Made by Michelle?)

Graham Cracker Crumble and Goat Cheese Ice Cream

Mumm Napa "Carlos Santana Brut" N/V


In my opinion, that's all a bit too much of a mix! I hope they've got the Beano and Pepto ready?

And, oh, BTW--this is on the taxpayers!

What are YOU eating tonight, hmm?
