Brian, Kristen, Fusilli and Tiramisu
Brian and Kristen take time out of their busy schedule of packing to join
us for dinner and dessert. We serve fusilli with a mushroom based sauce to
appease Brian's vegetarian appetite. Despite being vegetarian, the dish is
still very hearty - the sauce is thick and the mushrooms add a meat-y
flavor. We also serve an
herbed white bean
spread with some italian bread and
salad with
balsamic vinaigrette. While all this was very nice, the rest of the
meal was but a distant memory after we enjoyed Kristen's famous
tiramisu...
