I enjoyed a fantastic dinner with my great friends David and Riley on my birthday last Saturday. We went to one of my favorite restaurants called Renata's Hearth at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. As you can see, they serve meals "family style". We had the smoked brisket with some roasted fingerling potatoes and fava beans with a mushroom sauce. We managed to clean every one of those serving plates.
My birthday dessert was a coconut cheesecake topped with a strawberry jelly and a honeycomb cracker. The star here was the scoop of jalapeño ice cream. Sounds crazy, right? It was delicious. So delicious that David and Riley are thinking about trying to make it at home. They are both great cooks so I'm confident they will accomplish that goal.
The meals look fantastic and best friends are the best!
