...all made by Mike. He made the sauce the day before, as well as the meatballs.
Today, he sliced the eggplant nice and thin using a slicer, and let them sit on paper towels to absorb some of the water...
After that he dips them in egg wash, then Italian crumbs with some grated cheese, fries and drains well.
He layers them, sauce and mozzarella...
Then bakes...
You can see how many layers he makes, nice and thin..
5 min Artisan bread...the recipe is all over the net..
I bought these little cheese ornaments in the WM Sonoma outlet, I knew I didn't want them on my tree, what kind of a theme would that be..or maybe for a faux mouse... but they were cute...used them around the candle...
The little red bowl is from Home Goods, they came two to a pkg , they were called...Mini Pie plates...think of the possibilities...:)
Someone asked about the napkin fold from the last post...I will show that tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it..
Kathleen, the little mice are adorable... I knew you would find a way to decorate a table with them.
ReplyDeleteThe RED mini pie plates are too cute ... I bet Susan will be interested in them.
Mike is definitely a gem ... you've trained him correctly. :) (Or did he come that way?)

You have me seeing red and loving it! I love your Italian-inspired table with the cute little cheese ornaments. The mini pie plates are making me think of a trip to Homegoods too ;)
ReplyDeleteEverything about your dinner looks scrumptious, Kathleen! Mangia!
Looks great, Kathleen, like the little Italian place Larry and I had our first date :) If Mike was cooking I'd have had the eggplant! It looks excellent.
ReplyDeleteMike's a keeper :)
Perfect Kathleen! It all looks so 'professional' !! Mike did an outstanding job.. the table setting is Italian all the way. Love the little red bowls, I'm sure we will be seeing them in the nest month...;)
