Happens to also be one of my best friend's, birthday so we have celebrated together for many years. The table was heaving with delicious things and I am going to share what I contributed.
First of all I did beef short ribs. First time I enjoyed these they were cooked by my now son-in law and the best chef ever, of course! Next time I had them was as a sandwich at Table 8 in South Beach during one of those memorable girlie vacations. On the strength of that hangover meal Jules bought us all Govind Armstrong's book and I have to admit this is the first time I have dipped into it. I cannot find a link to the recipe, the link here is a hint but you might want to buy the book. The sandwich included pickled red onions which were just as fantastic with the short ribs, served as a meal instead of a sandwich. Fellow guests added a green and potato salad and it became a memorable meal. Was having such a good time that I forgot to take a pic of the short ribs, but you can probably imagine them......
The meal was finished with Charlotte's wonderful berry cobbler and Blondies, I had attempted for the first time. I think they were ok but room for improvement here, thank goodness for hungry and forgiving teenagers! Next time I will cook them for a minute less. This was a Cook's Illustrated recipe, and as I have said before I cannot share their recipes, annoyingly.
Thank you Charlotte and John for another wonderful evening.
