We had a very special dinner guest last night! Mohammed, Ross's friend from Egypt, was in Houston for a training class and was able join us for dinner at the house. I met Mohammed a year or so ago on a BP geology field trip in Utah. He is such a considerate, genuine person... quite a pleasure to entertain. I was impressed that he was able to navigate to our house, which is kinda off the beaten trail. For Muslims, it is Ramadan, the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It is a time to practice self-restraint, which includes fasting from sunrise to sunset. It was Ross's turn to cook and he did not disappoint. He made some great surf and turf: Filet Mignon with roasted red peppers, topped with goat cheese and a side of shrimp. Ross also made some lemon, Parmesan asparagus. I prepared a Mediterranean couscous and Reese's pieces cookie bar with ice cream. It was a two thumbs up kinda meal.
Steak Topper- Roasted Red Pepper-Ancho Salsa.
The DIVINE couscous: cherry tomato, basil, chickpeas, feta cucumber, lemon/lime.
What a meal!
We are heading to the lakehouse for a long weekend. Bon appetit! Here's some of the recipes we made!
