A Bit Busy This Evening

Today is our wedding anniversary. I am an extremely lucky man to have V in my life and feel that our relationship is truly blessed. Dinner this evening will start with Oysters Rockefeller (I had to get a refresher course in shucking oysters this afternoon) followed with Broiled Swordfish, Steamed Asparagus Spears and Fresh Sliced Pears. The wine I have chosen for this dinner is a White Bordeaux, Montesquieu's "Constitution Reserve". Hopefully this will complement both the richness of the Oysters Rockefeller and the Broiled Swordfish equally well. A touch of melted butter on the Swordfish should help to make this work. Desert... well it involves Champagne, Chambord and bubbles. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

I have got some cooking to get to, so I will leave you until tomorrow.
