Nigh-perfect.
The Menu
This was a spur-of-the-moment dinner. Next time, if I want to go completely local, I will buy celery at the Farmers' Market and butter from Strauss Farms (in Marin). Maybe finish off with some Scharffen Berger chocolate or local strawberries.
Even without planning it, I think we did pretty well. And - of course - it was delicious.
