Gastro Society Spring Dinner

Another meeting of the Gastro Society occurred this weekend. Our Gastro Society is ... 4 couples, the men cook, the women relax, and wine flows freely until late in the night.  We had to miss the last Gastro in the Fall because my morning sickness was in full throttle. We can't let that happen again.

So the inspiration for Saturday's dinner was Asian/ March Madness and here was our lovely dinner courtesy of 4 great guys chefs.

Appetizer: Goat cheese, apples, potatoes, and beets
Salad: Pumpernickel, pea shoots with enoki mushrooms and sauteed asparagus & hen of the wood mushrooms.
Main course: Surf & Turf (Filet mignons and seared tuna). Served with asian bok choy, lotus root, and asparagus
Dessert: melon 2 ways -- a sorbet and balled melon with japanese basil. Not pictured: the homemade chocolate truffles.
