Can anyone help me with a side dish?
Thanks so much for all the great ideas. I'm thinking of going with a "green rice." I also like the potato idea. You guys are the best!
Can anyone help me with a side dish?
Hi,
I'm having a dinner party in a few weeks and I've got my main course all worked out. It's a Spicy Beef Tenderloin recipe from the Food Network (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/spicy-grilled-beef-tenderloin-recipe/index.html). I've made it before and it is absolutely delicious and it holds well once cooked, so good for a dinner party. When I've made it before, it was for an afternoon/casual BBQ where the sides were potato salad, fruit, etc. I need to find something to elevate it to dinner party status -- this will be a fairly fancy event. The recipe was featured on an episode titled "Mexican Fiesta" so that is what is stumping me. I'm planning to grill some vegetables, but I'm totally at a loss on a starch -- things I've considered are Baked Cheese Grits, Potatoes Gratin and Risotto. My additional challenge is that two of my guests are vegetarian, so the Risotto seems like a good fit for them, but doesn't seem like it "goes" with jalapeno spiced beef. Any suggestions out there?
Thanks!
Any Local Flour Mills in Bay Area?
I've started doing a lot of bread baking and am looking for a source for 25 or 50 lb. bags of unbleached flour. Ideally, I'd like it to be a locally milled flour. And I'm not interested in the bags you can get at Costco or similar. Does anyone know of a local mill that sells to the public? Given the weight I'm looking for, I don't want to add shipping charges on to an online order. Thanks!
