We're having people over for Gretchen's birthday in a couple weeks. For her birthday the challenge is to frame a dish, or flavors, she likes in a new way. Last year's dinner was tarte flambee and a brown butter spaetzle dish, which was more or less a take on the farmer cheese/noodle thing she's all about. This year is still kind of coming together, but I'm starting to get ready.
So the next few weekends will be a combination of testing and prep work.
