New Mexico!
In addition to the two excellent operas the culinary highlight of the trip was a visit to our friends in Los Alamos ( yes the place they had the first chain reaction and tested the first atomic bomb!)
It was like being in Denmark as far as food quality is concerned.
We started with Lacy Parmesan Wafers
followed by Watermelon-tequila Soup - really nice - a compliment indeed from someone who doesn't like melon! It tasted like an excellent, expensive cocktail. There was cream in it too so it looked a bit like a milkshake but tasted divine.
Next was the above - Veal Lombatina (grilled veal chops, perfectly prepared and garnished with, fresh from the garden, parsley and lemon.) served with dressed Mache salad and Eggplant, squash, Parmesan Tortino. ( a delicious baked dish with eggs as well as all the veggies)
