Hunt Sibling Dinner
@damien-hunt
Matilda had trusted Clary to take Djo out for the night while she had dinner with her siblings. She did this for two reasons. One: her siblings tended to get smashed and she didn’t want her beautiful Djo around that for a first impressive of Matilda’s brothers. Two: she wanted Djo to go out and meet new people so she had friends in this town as well. Matilda was always encouraging her to get out, meet folks and make friends. Okay and the third reason was that honestly it had been so long since she had seen her brothers. She just wanted to be selfish and have an evening alone with her brothers. Something she was lucky her open minded girlfriend understood.
Matilda hummed along with the classical music she had playing while she chopped some more fresh herbs to put in the asparagus soup. She was making a nice 4 course Meal. For appetizers, she had made herb and goat cheese crostini’s that she would broil before serving so it would be lightly golden before she topped it with some fresh tomatoes and basil. For the second course, she was making a creamy asparagus soup with an herb cream drizzle to add before serving. For the main course, she had roasting a duck with baby veggies roasted in the drippings. She was letting the duck cool before she was going to carve it and make a sauce from the left-over drippings to drizzle over the meat and veggies. For dessert, she had made a mousse trio, one of milk chocolate with fresh mint, one white chocolate with raspberry syrup and finally a dark chocolate with espresso creamed whip topping.
Matilda smiled proudly at her selection for the night and she took a sip of the white wine she had opened to enjoy while she cooked. Before she left New Orleans, her family had a chef that cooked for her and her siblings. She had learned a lot since the last time they sat down for a meal. She knew she had made way too much but she could just take some left overs to Clary the next day. She was already planning to make her some sugar cookies with a surprise strawberry filling as a thank you for her help. Matilda glanced at the clock and smiled. Her brothers should be arriving any minute.
