Tomorrow night we are hosting a cocktail fundraiser from 5:30 to 8 pm, for the victims of the Haitian Earthquake that will benefit Doctors without Borders. It’s such an amazing organization and 100% of the proceeds will go to them. If you’re around we would love to see you!!
Our weekly market menu started this evening and we have a really fun savory dessert. It’s a Spanish Blue Cheese Flan with some Spiced and Candied Marcona Almonds, and Brioche-Quince Toasts. We get a young Covadonga Blue from Spain that is creamy and fairly mild that works really well for this. It’s made from Cow and Sheep’s milk and aged for about 2-3 months.
I am looking forward to some of the events we have coming up in the month of February both at the restaurant and outside of the house. We have a few wine dinners, some great fundraising events and a dinner with Dietzler Farms. Keeping busy in February brings me one step closer to the realization that baseball season is around the corner, and that means the weather is supposed to be nice. Not really here in Chicago, but somewhere it is.
