Paula and Matthew graciously invited Eating Club to their beautiful home in Charlestown to eat a 7 course meal of what can only be described as pure heaven. As in, if one could eat bites of heaven, surely this is what it would be like.
Unfortunately, I gobbled up the first course salad before a picture was taken, but I didn't make that mistake again with the rest of the evening. Behold! And don't read the rest of this post lest you wish to ever enjoy any meal you'll ever eat again. Because, although we had an amazing time, as we walked out the door, we felt a little sad that nothing we eat in our normal lowly lives will ever taste satisfactory again. I must add my gratitude that each meat-oriented dish was altered for a personal vegetarian experience (as reflected in the pics). This was one ridiculously planned culinary adventure. The dishes featured items from Paula and Matthew's own garden, to boot.
First, here's the menu that Paula sent out to get our palettes prepared:
