Wine and Dine in Waterloo

Pre-Cooking Snack

We were too hungry to cook before we ate.

Smoked salmon:
I've never had bad smoked salmon before. It's all good.

And slices from the Sobey's baguette:

Drinks

The first bottle of wine was a Jackson-Triggs Merlot.
Casey was unimpressed with the taste, so we decided to make wine coolers with it. We used some random online recipe that included minimal ingredients.
It was a novelty drink, but I liked it better than the wine by itself.

The second bottle of wine came from California. I can't quite describe the Mirassou Riesling anymore, but I remember that I liked it.

Bread
Of course, if we're eating bread with Casey, it has to be garlic bread.

Left: roasted garlic. Right: butter!

Pre-oven:
Post-oven:
Casey's garlic bread is always so tasty. The butter soaks right into it and makes it so moist.

Meat
The whole chunk just fit the cutting board.


This is how we do it: stab and shove garlic.

Finally, some oven-roasted meat!

We lost track of time as we were watching online videos while making this and left the roast in the oven for a bit too long. The vegetables were a bit burnt, and the meat was on the dry side.

The beef still had pretty good flavour.


Dessert

Yet another chocolate mousse attempt. Again, we used PC dark chocolate.

It either has too much chocolate in it, or it's the chocolate itself that's making it into mousse with weirdo density.

I think my favourites of the day were the garlic bread, the smoked salmon, and the Californian wine.

I am getting super hungry just going through all these pictures.
