We celebrated in style, with a three course gourmet meal in the home of a very long-time friend, Scott Hoezee, with able assistance from his son, Graham. Bought at church a few months ago, the dinner was a "service auction" item, and at this dinner we were treated with a foretaste of God's good kingdom through Scott and Graham's skill, affection, and hospitality. From champagne with Mushroom Gratin with French Baguette Slices as an appetizer; we moved to our first course from Asia: Sesame-crusted Sashimi Tuna, Thai slaw, ginger and wasabi, and sesame dipping sauce. After that our second course was Persian: Lamb Osso Bucco in a Moroccan tomato sauce, served with lamb Megueyez sausage and saffron risotto. Then third course came from France: Seared breast of duck in a morel mushroom sauce, and confit of duck and truffled mashed potatoes. All topped off with orange and cinnamon creme brulee served with fresh raspberries and blackberries. All accompanied by red, and white wine along the way. My comment halfway through dinner was that Scott was preparing us for the tastes of heaven, and he was.
Fifty-two years of marriage is something worth celebrating. Congratulations, Mom and Dad.
This is the second course, mmm.
