Tonight was the fabulous Mrs. P’s birthday and we had an awesome dinner at Cafe Panache in Ramsey, NJ. We started off with seared shrimp in paprika lemon butter sauce with heirloom tomatoes and fried sage. We also shared handmade pumpkin agnolotti with butter and parmesan. For entrees I had outstanding imported venison chops in aromatic madeira wine sauce with buttered spaetzle and sweet potato puree. Mrs. P had excellent diver scallops with cauliflower flan, pickled chanterelles, in a lobster sauce. For dessert we had melt in your mouth coconut cake and caramel gelato (not pictured). It all went great with 2011 Domaine Lafond Chateauneuf Du Pape
