It was all very good. The black bean salad/relish was particularly
refreshing, and complemented everything else nicely. Lucky me -- I took the
leftovers to work with me tonight!

I decided to splurge, porter house steaks, asparagus with a white
cheese sauce, scalloped potatoes with bacon, and a raspberry custard
pie for dessert.

Porterhouse is one of my favorite cuts. The whole meal sounds like a
worthy splurge!

What is your recipe for the raspberry custard pie?

Seems a little dairy-heavy: Cheese with the asparagus, milk or cream with
the potatoes, and cream in the pie. Not that there's anything *wrong* with
it, but I think I'd prefer a meal like that when it's about fifty degrees
cooler than it is here.
