Starter: Kohlrabi sliced thin and tossed with red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Parker thought it was really good this time, and ate quite a bit. She's such a brave eater, to keep trying things she didn't like last time. Eventually she likes most things (at least once, no guarantees on next time)
Entree: Combined tomato-rice soup with basil garnish and tuna melts. I should have just split these up as the melts had to in the toaster oven to firm up the bottoms. However, it was delicious nonetheless and I like dunking one in the other. Parker at all the soup and all the melt, and went back for more. She'll eat anything with fish in it. Robert doesn't like tuna melts, but I made a stir fry for him earlier in the week so I think we're even. Plus he was grumpy and not very hungry from being sick, so I enjoyed it enough for the both of us.
Dessert: Peach Blueberry tart. The tart crust came out floury and underdone, and the fruit was just kind of blah. Maybe I'll try the Cooks Illustrated fraisage method for a more pie-like crust next time. Not sure what I did wrong, but I'm not a baker-type as much. Or give up on dessert-making and leave it to professionals, of which Portland has no shortage.
