cane river kitchenware

while we were dancing away at the jazz festival in natchez, la this past weekend, we had the privileged to have a private 4 coarse meal behind this beautiful gormet kitchen and food store right off of front street called Cane River Kitchenware.

 

my sweet lee does cooking classes with private chefs every now and then and booked a private party. i didnt get the recipe of much of anything yet, but here are a few photos of our beautiful and intimate dinner.

 this was great. what they did, is they put a bottle of vodka in an empty carton of milk. they filled it with water, placed flower petals along side of the bottle and froze. once it was frozen, you peel away the milk carton and it keeps a beautiful ice sculpture around the vodka, keeping it cold for cocktails.

 that is spinach and artichoke dip inside of that pineapple.

 this is great. you dip the baby tomato with a toothpick into the vodka, and then cover the tomato with various spices. not quite sure what spices it was - i know one was a curry spice.

 great shrimp salad with homemade croutons and Louisiana romalade sauce. all you can buy inside the store.

 roasted pork loin, mushroom bread pudding (TO DIE FOR) and grilled veggies.

 pomegranate cheesecake! was it pomegranate? not sure if i remember, i had a lot of cocktails.

 all of us girls with the chefs! (the woman with the white tunic and the blonde beside her. who was the main chef that night and she is 23! what are you doing with YOUR life!?)
