I wish I had gotten a better picture of beautiful Valerie but honestly, I was concentrating on the lovely table she designed for her guests.  From the exquisite centerpiece, to individual gifts, candles, and of course….chocolates….it was ‘Valerie Perfection’!!!

The peaches and Burrata were soooo delicious as were the candied walnuts….Oh, the lemon oil was a wonderful touch in the Vichyssoise which was made from cauliflower.  That reminds me, if you microwave a head of cauliflower until it gets very tender and then put it in the food processor with 1/2 & 1/2, butter, salt & pepper….it comes out tasting just like mashed potatoes!!!  Bet you didn’t know that!

I was the only one who had their lobster shelled…..that way I could get right to it….

I don’t know why I missed taking a picture of the sublime desert….Maybe too much lovely wine!

Thank you Valerie for another perfect evening!!!
