What's for Dinner?

Let's see...

Artichoke-chipotle dip served with baguette slices, also some olive oil and peach-flavored white balsamic vinegar with the baguette.

Then tri-tip (cooked medium, which was a tad overdone for what it was, but only slightly over and still pretty good), asparagus (screwed that one up, forgot to blanch before sauteeing, so it was pretty bitter), sliced tomato and cucumber. There was supposed to be buttered corn with chili powder, but stupid head (me) forgot to take it out of the oven.

After 1st round of game, a fruit & cheese plate: strawberries and grapes, with a truffle goat cheese, served with some more baguette slices but we determined that the cheese tasted best warmed up and eaten without bread. And a bowl of cappuccino-flavored almonds (addictive! Tasted somewhat like Cookie Crisp cereal, but nuttier).

Not bad. Not epic, but not bad. Had some good company, some good rounds of Apples to Apples, and in general, for an evening planned only about 6 hours before it started, a good night.

Chili made with textured veg protein because I'm just that virtuous.

Today, anyway.
