Last night I attended a tasting for Thomas Caterers of Distinction at the Scottish Rite. A dear friend of mine is starting an special event planning firm and I've agreed to be one of her 'associates.' I'm not entirely sure what that will entail, but I love party planning of all kinds! So she invited me to attend this event with her...it was a lovely evening. It felt great to get out of the house for a 'professional' event - I said it was kind of like a coming out party for me after nine months of not 'working.' (I use the term 'not working' in the very best way possible because we all know having a baby is plenty of work!) It was great to put on real clothes, make-up and a non-nursing bra! We had pear mojitos, lobster pot pies, a spring salad trio and my favorite carrot soufflé (a must-have at a Thomas event!). Some of the food was great; some not-so-great - but that was the point of the whole evening - we were tasting their spring/summer menu. It was kind of like being in a Food Network test kitchen - only fancier!
Here's the recipe for the carrot souffle - Your family and friends won't believe it is made of carrots, it really resembles a sweet potato pie...it might possibly be the tastiest carrot dish e-v-e-r!
