2013-1-13 Sunday, January 13, 2013, Elisabeth Cardonne Arlyck and Ralph Arlyck.They returned yesterday from a month away, two weeks in Mexico and two weeks in Cuba. In San Miquel de Allende Caron Cross organized a screening of Ralph's film, Following Sean. We called them late morning on Sunday to see if they were up for a dinner so soon after their return. So I went shopping and spent the afternoon making dinner. We (me mostly as sous chef) made dinner from a new cook book that Catherine got at Christmas and that we think it great, Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamini. We had burnt eggplant & mograbieh soup, panfried sea bass with harissa ( Catherine also made the harissa) & rose, and an incredible dessert, matabbag.
