I think that I wish I was your boyfriend -- you're wonderful to do all this
and the menu sounds different and very fresh. It seems like you can do the
prep for many of the recipes ahead of time. I especially like the simplicity
and elegance of the fennel, orange, red onion salad -- a citrusy vinaigrette
and some chopped walnuts over the top would be excellent with that.
Just curious -- how did you come up with this menu? I can't wait to steal
some of your ideas.
Good luck with the dinner!
