Ingrid Johansen

(Community Matters) Fantastic dinner party last night at the home of Ingrid & Mitch Berman. We celebrated Ingrid’s birthday. Not sure that we should have let Ingrid cook on her own birthday, but so glad she did – spicy pumpkin soup, quail and asparagus. The quail was extraordinary – rubbed and grilled. Such succulent food, breaking off tiny pieces, dipping into a meyer lemon sauce, then rolling in fresh spices, salt & smokey dry spices. It melted in my mouth.

After saying good night to Daniel, Isaac and Solvyewho’d had their own celebration at iHop – champagne, cheeses as first course, than sat down to dinner with Ingrid, Mitch, Ann Lewis, John Robertson, Kathy Benayoun and Jean (rats, last name . . . .). Steven and Mitch ending the evening with a little competitive soccer on the kid’s court; me sipping a really nice tequilla.
