dinner for six

squash tortelli, roasted chanterelles & fried sage:

salad verte, black radish, grapefruit and hazelnut vinaigrette

the amuse (sideways) porcini arancini with yellow tomato sauce from the garden:

canapes - figs with bleu d' auvergne, cheese pennies (natch) and shrimp tartlets with green tomato chutney

better view of the adorable pennies...thanks to ryan for his thyme-picking expertise!

not pictured: roasted pork tenderloin with farro, black kale and port reduction. my iphone would not cooperate, and i needed to get that food out! also - the apple & plum jam tart with cinnamon-cognac ice cream. i will be reprising that ice cream on thanksgiving...
