Back from the Cider Dinner
My gawd that was delicious!
It was held at a Community College near the Mt. Vernon WA Agricultural Station where a lot of excellent research is going on for American Cider Apples (talking hard (alcohol) cider, not sweet juice). The College has quite the Culinary Arts program and they overdid themselves with this program.
There were five courses -- Mixed Antipasti, Steamed Mussels in Cider, Salad, Steak with Calvados Cream Sauce and Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and finally a Baked Apple Puff Pastry with cream cheese filling.
Each course was paired with two or three different Ciders -- some commercial and some single-apple varietals from the local Ag stations own brewery.
About forty people attended. I am feeling very fat dumb and happy!
