What I Nom Today, Yesterday and the Day Before ~ This weekend was the wedding of 2 really good, good friends right here in Boston.  Where to start? 

The rehearsal dinner at Mistral served up a wonderful tomato bisque with a little croissant crescent, a perfect medium-rare beef tenderloin (which I nomed too quickly before I could take a picture) with leek mashed potatoes and asparagus and a pot de creme trio for dessert of fresh fruit & creme fraiche, a creme brulee and a chocolate mousse!

The reception dinner at the Boston Harbor Hotel was a stand alone buffet along with "action stations" where the chefs are preparing the food in front of you.  There was a mix of Middle Eastern olive dips and sides served with triangles of pita bread, an awesome seafood (shrimp, lobster and scallop) linguine, ham and pea risotto, LOBSTER risotto (sooooo yummy!), a cranberry stuffed chicken loin (also super tasty...my favorite...I shoulda gotten a double helping), grilled Mediterranean veggies and rack of lamb!  Also, why go to the regular bar when there was a bar set up only for mojitos???  Oh yeah, a full-on mojito bar with flavors like raspberry, black cherry and mango!  I was in minty heaven all night.  For dessert, not only the 2-flavored wedding cake of carrot & chocolate raspberry, but another action station of BANANAS FOSTER!  Oh hells yeah, only like mine and the groom's all time favorite dessert!  They didn't flambé it in front of me though, but that's ok, I understand.  However, I want everyone to note that I was first in line for that bananas foster!  You better believe I camped out for that shiz!

Finally, the Sunday brunch still at the hotel, served up your standard mid morning menu, with just a little bit of extra flair to it.  Eggs Benedict, scrambled eggs, bacon, grilled ham, home fries, crepes with mixed berry sauce, a gourmet cheese plate, smoked salmon, assorted muffins and other pastries (of course) and plenty of sweet, freshly sliced fruit!

All in all, not too bad.  Then, again kinda ho-hum as I typically eat like this every day of the week :)  Bwahahahahaha...yeah RIGHT!
