Seven Deadly Sins

IMG_1904

Angel and Marty recently hosted a seven-course dinner party themed the Seven Deadly Sins. Angel’s brother, Stephen, planned the menu and cooked some of the best food I’ve ever eaten.

First, greed: lobster corn dog with white truffle popcorn

Second, anger: scallop ceviche alla diavalo

Third, envy: artisan lettuce, walnuts, blueberry stilton and lemon vinaigrette

Fourth, gluttony: mung bean noodles with bacon, spinach and cream sauce

Then, sorbet: cranberry vanilla, saffron and apple cider

Apparently I forgot to continue taking pictures of the courses. But next on the menu was sloth: short ribs, pumpkin seed risotto and broccoli rabe, and then pride: parmigiano three ways: consume, soufflé and shortbread.

Lastly, lust: chocolate truffles: rose, lavender and cayenne
