The combination of foie gras, pork, duck, and veal set off culinary fireworks! Everyone loved it!!

I also love meeting people with the same aesthetics, and also learning from their creativity - both in the kitchen and behind the camera! <br /><br />It is a sign, Susan - and those glasses (although Susan's Fostoria, not mine) were perfect for this. My grandmother had a lot of it, too, and we four boys broke most of it when we were young. I only have one vase left - a celery vase.

I love macerated strawberries, particularly with creme fraiche and liqueur :) I now very little about Gascony and its cuisine so it's exciting to read the food and wine pairing via your blog and Susan's recent post! Sorry to hear that your terrine didn't stay together. It must have been such a disappointment... it looks absolutely beautiful in the picture! I can't wait to see the second test of the recipe.

Your pastry was phenomenal - I am forever indebted to you for this, as I have not been a puff pastry fan in the past. The store bought stuff is awful.

It looks darn good, and love that you used creme fraiche, that stuff is unbelivable. Though I would one of our malbec wines, did you know the grape found it´s best habitat in Mendoza, a province in this country? This is a sophisticated dessert anyway you look at it David! And of course, I want that terrine recipe.
