napa

napa did not inspire me to blog.

it inspired me to cook. tonight: two course meal.

first course: baby shiitake and morel mushroom medley, sauteed in butter with sea salt, european (forget where) saffron/peppercorn cheese, and napa olive oil.

second course: grilled leeks, grilled sea scallops with lemon/butter marinade and a different peppercorn cheese, drizzled with napa olive oil.

now, if i'd had the good sense to pair this with a napa wine, this would be a great meal. but instead i poured some crap from manteca. bleh.

get what you pay for.
