Italian Wine dinner with the Burns'

One of the joys of our life in Atlanta is the friends we have made here. Among our favorite occasions are the wine dinners we have with our friends Tom and Carol Burns. Tom and Alan both enjoy collecting wine and Carol and I both enjoy cooking -- perfect combination!

Tonight featured some Italian wines that Alan would have to tell you about. Carol made a lovely antipasto with prosciutto and melon, plus marinated shrimp and dinner was veal scallopine, asparagus, a potato pancake kind of thing (similar to rosti but with egg), and I brought a tomato salad (of course). Dessert was the pictured ice cream balls. Great all around. This is Tom and Carol's last semester in Atlanta -- they are retiring to their condo overlooking Lake Superior. We will definitely miss them but hope to do another dinner before they go.
