It went pretty well. Going to the Pearl St. Whole Foods the weekend before the Christmas holiday, was, in retrospect, bad news. The store was a total madhouse. Not to mention their terrible parking lot. But, the meal went off pretty well. I made it essentially as described in my previous post. I didn’t have much time to prep the fish, so there were a few bones. In the future, the whole process would be much faster if I just ordered bones for the stock from the fish supplier, then took pre-cut fillets for the actual poaching.

I also went to the Savory Spice shop, which was pretty incredible. Nice smells and a huge selection.

For dessert, I made an apple-pear tart. There were some really nice apples at Whole Foods, so I just went for it. Everyone really enjoyed the meal. I got a request for beef or poultry next time.
