Gourmet Dinner at Sandi's

Sandi loves to cook. When she's happy, sad, stressed, depressed.....you name it: she cooks.  I am lucky to be her friend because I'm the resident guinea pig.

Last night she decided to cook some pork tenderloin with fresh raspberry sauce.  Before our main entree, she served a nice salad with fresh strawberries and blueberries with parmesan crisp in a jalapeno and lime dressing. She's also been wanting to try a recipe of macaroni and cheese with Gouda cheese and so she did.  For vegetables, she roasted some fresh beans, peppers and squash she got from the Farmer's market. The end result was a beautiful presentation of a wonderful meal. It looked like a $45 entree from a fine dining restaurant except for the fact that I had a second serving with no extra charge.




For dessert, she served a cherry chocolate strudel she had in her freezer which she baked. It was baked perfectly per instructions (crisp and light) especially when served with some whipped cream. I had forgotten how good these strudels are from Mishi's Strudel in San Pedro. I was unable to take pictures as we were all excited to try it but, not to worry as I am already planning a trip to Mishi's to get a few of the strudels this week.
