I can't believe that Peter is heading into his fifth year of teaching, but it is fast approaching. If any of you are entering your first year as a teacher, I send you so much love! I wish I could make an end of summer feast for you, too.
Here are the celebration menu options:
Starters:
- Pickled grapes with cinnamon and black pepper
- Fig and olive tapenade + cheese and crackers
- Tuscan chicken liver pate
Mains:
- Seafood chowder
- Steamed lobsters
- Grilled duck breast
Sides:
- Zucchini with basil, mint, and honey
- Grilled peach, onion, and bacon salad with buttermilk dressing
- Crispy kale salad with lime dressing
Desserts:
- Peach tart
- Warm chocolate budino
- Ice cream of your choice (even a fruity one :)
Peter, my dear, what looks good?!
P.S. Previous end of summer feasts can be seen here, here, and here. I didn't post in 2009, but I found an email with the menu: antipasto plate, balsamic and rosemary Florentine steak, and apple pie with cheddar crust. That was a good one!

well i'd vote for the tapenade, the lobster, the peach and bacon salad, and ice cream...
ReplyDeletei love this idea! what a neat way to celebrate the beginning of another year!
ps - i just started following you on pinterest, i can't believe i've gone this long without following your every style move!
Peter chose this exact menu (with the exception of ice cream - peach tart instead!). Great minds!
