This is my second post for Thanksgiving. The previous one covers my morning delicacy and I thought due to its festivities the evening deserves a separate post on its own. Trust me it does.
My buddy Hansen was invited to his boss's Non-Turkey Thanksgiving dinner and he invited me as a plus 1. I was very excited since all of my plans for Thanksgiving were deflating one by one as we're getting near to the day. I was actually planning of going to NYC to stay with my cousin but after thorough consideration, I was wise enough not to go ~ due to traffic & cousin taking CFA exam next week. I'm glad I stayed to attend this dinner.
As I came in to the house, the setting and interior was far from normal. It was very "chic". The kitchen was very modern with a cow leather rug on the center floor. This was uncalled for. I mean, who puts a cow leather rug on the kitchen floor? I know I put the $1.99 floor mat in my kitchen floor. In addition, the wall was colored in yellow. Or should I say "Goldfinch" by Ralph Lauren as he claims it was. Hansen agrees, it was his favorite shade of yellow.
Also, check out the dinner setting.. FANC-EY!!
Before we get in to the main course, I have to tell you that the reason for this dinner was to gather the "international" people that don't really celebrate the traditional American Thanksgiving. Genius. We ended up with 7 people all together ranging from Norway, Singapore, China, Iran, Russia and Indonesia. Very international indeed.
The dinner continues with a home-made lobster bisque which was divine. The lobster chunks were sweet and juicy. The soup was perfectly seasoned without the overpowering lobster/seafood smell which I typically don't appreciate.
I'd say it was a very nice evening. I had such a great time there enjoying the food and the new people I met.
