Dinner with Everybody at Forage
A fabulous meal of Buffalo Horn Ranch bison au jus, scalloped potatoes, roasted beets and house-made goat cheese, cucumber salad, braised red cabbage and thickly buttered baguette (all passed around twice); then Saskatoon cobbler with vanilla ice cream, tea and coffee: $49.
Bottle of wine: $35.
Leftover biscuits on the way out: free.
Getting to sit down to dinner and laugh with so many of you: priceless.
Beating Russia was pretty sweet too.
I realize that ripping off a MasterCard commercial was extraordinarily cheesy, but it’s all I’ve got.
I’ve been lulled into submission by too much red meat and red wine and a double serving of carbohydrates for dessert, and all of that is being pummelled by a 4 year old who has already turned sideways and gone all starfish in my bed and is repeatedly kicking me in the side of the gut.
But it really was a great night – I loved meeting the seventeen of you who came – the Farm Table Dinners at Forage are a great happy medium between going to a restaurant and eating at home, family-style. (As K put it, it’s like a big family dinner – without the fighting. Or the dishes. And Grandma is a spectacularly good chef.)
A huge thanks to Wade, Sue and the crew for making it happen and feeding us so well. (But honestly. Why do I have to be such a dweeb? Could I possibly turn down the crazy I-want-to-kill-and-eat-you-in-your-sleep expression on my face? It is in no way indicative of how my dinner made me feel. Have a good sleep, now.)
