Fall Feast

I love Fall, not as much as I love Spring but pretty damn close!

Since Jon and I are now tossing around the idea of culinary school, I need practice! and I need test rats!! Enter the Oracle Group. A cohesive unit of close friends that like- no scratch that- LOVE & LIVE to eat good food. they also like to drink- but we'll cover that in other drink related posts!

So I invited the gang over to my place for dinner. Jon and I were supposed to collaborate on the entire dinner but his tennis match ran over (he was playing the geriatric squad again). I had been pulling up recipes and working on flavor profiles all week so was not too worried about thinking up a menu:

- Pumpkin soup with Cajun Crab
- Brussels Sprouts & Kale with bacon and sun dried tomato
- Roasted Root Vegetables made with Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash, and Japanese yams
- Balsamic Roast Pork Loin
- Butternut squash ravioli with sage brown butter sauce with wild mushrooms and hazelnuts

I will get all these recipes up before November. I hope.

Yea Fall!
