Our honored guest this evening was our dear friend and neighbor Andrew, who happens to be the owner of Blue Turtle Spa<\/a>. 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<\/a>, 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<\/a> extra virgin olive oil. Organic Ancient Harvest quinoa<\/a> completed this course. (This is the best tasting quinoa I have ever had.) A smooth, buttery Acacia<\/a> 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.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
