Dinner for Andrew

Our honored guest this evening was our dear friend and neighbor Andrew, who happens to be the owner of Blue Turtle Spa. He is an unparalleled aesthetician! According to his wife Nanci (who was back home in South Africa), rotisserie chicken is one of Andrew’s favorites so that was our featured entree. Purchased at Costco, after my wait for the freshest chickens to come out of the oven, it was simply delicious! As an accompaniment, we had a mesclun salad with dates and goat cheese and a great dressing made with balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and Sciabica extra virgin olive oil. Organic Ancient Harvest quinoa completed this course. (This is the best tasting quinoa I have ever had.) A smooth, buttery Acacia chardonnay paired perfectly with this meal. Thanks to a profusion of Meyer lemons from another neighbor’s garden, these were transformed into lemon squares, a recipe from Neiman Marcus, for our delectable dessert.
