I would like to invite 16 people to my home for dinner. I am going to experiement with sweetbreads and make my own sausage. They will be served in different courses. I wanted to list them because not everyone loves those things. As usual the meal will be at least five courses including dessert. Even though there will be assertive meat elements vegetables will still be present.
Dinner will cost $40. If you would like to participate in the wine program that is an additional $20. Thomas is very thoughtful in selecting the wines.

So delicious! I loved how the courses were all connected, and the "cheese" course was a special treat.

Thanks Marianne for another fabulous meal! I'm thinking about my blog post on this dinner and am curious.....how many people had sweetbreads for the first time?

Another fabulous dinner with delicious wine pairings. Loved the barberas and the vin santo. The best sweetbreads I ever had.....Loved the pickled fennel. Loved the first course...almost like an asparagus soufflé. The pancetta chip was an inspired touch. Thank you for another wonderful meal.
