I am having She Who Quilts over for dinner on Tuesday.  The tentative menu:

-Start off with salad consisting of mixed greens and a tomato and an avocado sliced over, hint of red onion, dash of balsamic vinaigrette

-Salmon in ginger wasabi sauce, potatoes baked with rosemary, and broccoli

-Carrot cake with lemon frosting for dessert

She Who Quilts is bringing the wine, which is fortunate, because I know nothing about wine.  The few occasions I've served wine with something, it's involved cookbook and Internet research about "what sort of wine do you serve with....?" and begging the poor wine seller at Central Market for suggestions.  I enjoy a glass now and then, but it seems wasteful to buy a bottle when I'll never finish it before it goes bad.

We both have views most firm in the matter of desserts.  Desserts should be homemade.  They should involve Real Butter and other equally Real ingredients.  If we can't pronounce it, it doesn't go into the dessert.  Desserts should preferably be pie or cake or homemade cookies.  Desserts are something to be Treasured.  Enjoyed.  Lingered Over.

I make a darn good carrot cake.

I've also considered making a curry with chicken, veggies, coconut milk et all for the main course.  Can't decide whether to go with salmon or curry.  Hmm.  Curry would involve cooking but one item...and I love curry, I do.  I also love fish.

Fortunately, I don't have to decide until Tuesday.  And I probably won't decide until Tuesday afternoon. :P
