tuxette's Journal: yet another gourmet orgy report...

We had boyfriend of tuxette's gourmet orgy birthday celebration at Oslo Spiseforretning.

Aperitif: Bellavista Cuvée Brut (Italia)

First course: roulade of cod and salmon served with salad and a so-good-you-want-to-lick-the-plate creamy herb dressing.

First course wine: Chablis Cuvée LC 2002 La Chablisienne (Burgund, France)

Second course: baked halibut served with cauliflower puree, sugar peas and turnips.

Second course wine: Pazode Senorans Albariño 2004 (Rias Baixas, Spania)

Main course: Hmm... not sure about the English name of the cut of beef - sirloin I think (ytrefilet in Norwegain). Oven-roasted and served rare, nice and tender. It was served with baked mushrooms, green beans, tiny new potatoes, and a nice sauce made from the reduced juices of the meat and roesmary.

Main course wine: Valpolicella Classico Superiore Cipasso 2004, (Veneto, Italia)

Cheese: Three kinds of local cheeses - a lovely tilseter, a mild and creamy brie, and a bleu (which boyfriend of tuxette got since I'm allergic to blue cheese unless it's been cooked). All served with apple compote and a nut bread.

Wine for cheese: Dönnhoff Riesling 2004 (Nahe, Germany)

Dessert: Anise-marinated strawberries (yum) and a lemon fromage. With a big thin cookie shaped in a ring. To symbolize the Ring of Fat, of course...

Dessert wine: Saracco Moscati d'Asti 2005 (Piemonte, Italia)

After which...

After which, the RoF stated, "Today was a good day." :)

Actually, he asked for a wafer-thin mint... ;-)
