Saturday's Dinner Party

While the weather was a bit too nippy to set the table out in the garden Saturday evening, we had a fantastic time with family and friends. Here is the menu Joe and I prepared for his cousin, Lauren, and her husband, Carlo.

Starters...
Caprese Salad
Olive Pate with Fresh Semolina Bread

Entree...
Homemade Pizza with fresh tomato sauce, fresh mozz from Strawberry Farm, prosciutto di parma (if you are a carnivore), arugula, portebella, and artichokes
Arugula, strawberry, and artichoke salad

Wine...
Chianti Reserve (Ruffino - I was actually VERY surprised by the quality)

Dessert...
Homemade chocolate chip cookies

We ate, we drank, we laughed, and all by candle light.
