Lobster and White Burgundy with Nacks

Thursday night after Bob left, Barb decided to oven roast some tomatoes for the next night.

She topped them with a little olive oil, garlic, and a touch of kosher salt. 

200 degree oven 8-10 hours.

Before serving, she chiffonaded some basil and drizzled some old balsamic.

Jodi and Gary came to open a white Burgundy (Capitaine-Gagnerot Ladoix Premier Cru) that they had brought home from France this summer. 

I went to my cellar and whipped out an old red from the same winery (Capitaine-Gagnerot Chory-les-Beaune from 1995).

Absolutely sure the red would be over the hill junk....surprisingly, it was great.  Relearned about well made old reds.

Simple dinner:  

Guacamole from Newtown market.

Grilled figs with goat cheese, pepper and Balsamic  vinegar (can u say: leftovers?).

Bought seven 1 lb lobsters (steamed  in the store), grilled some corn, warmed up leftover zucchini.  No butter, except for bread. 

Cut up fruit and half an apple pie for dessert.  

A little Calvados to finish.  Beautiful night at home with my wife and friends.
