It was too much for me to only standby and so I went out and bought Julia&#8217;s book Mastering The Art of French Cooking, which she co-authored with two French gals. This book mesmerized me, motivated me, inspired me and piqued my imagination.<\/p>\n<p>I began cooking French at home. It is now to my very great surprise that we have not suggested, previously to this year, a Julia Child beer dinner. Perhaps we were not ready. In fact, we are never ready, but we will now do it. Taking primarily from her book, the Ale House chefs; Cindy, Trish, Mike, Jody and I (not a chef) will take on the 5 courses necessary to amaze, gratify and leave you trembling. We think we can do it, can you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Beers Are:<\/strong><br \/>\nSummer&#8217;s End, Chair City, Oma&#8217;s Altbier, Face-off, Chocolate Porter<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Course 1<\/strong> &#8211; Summer&#8217;s End, Celery soup with potato, leeks and rice, Potage de c\u00e9leri avec des pommes de terre, des poireaux et le riz<\/li>\n<li><strong>Course 2 <\/strong>&#8211; Chair City Pale Ale, Trio of Stuffed Crepes, Trio des crepes farcies avec le cardon ; &amp; de poireau de champignon; fromage fondu; asperge grill\u00e9e avec le fraiche de cr\u00e8me de citron<\/li>\n<li><strong>Course 3<\/strong> &#8211; Oma&#8217;s Altbier, Saut\u00e9ed creamy chicken with butter noodles, parsley, peas and herbed brown sauce, Poulet saut\u00e9 avec les nouilles de beurre, le persil, les pois et la sauce brune aux fines herbes.\n<ul>\n<li>INTERMISSION<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Course 4 <\/strong>&#8211; Face-off Double IPA, Bouef Bourginon, Bouef Bourginon &#8211; By any other name it isn&#8217;t bouef bourginon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Course 5<\/strong> &#8211; Chocolate Porter, Apple tart with apricot glaze, Tarte aux pommes avec le lustre d&#8217;abricot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Reservations:<\/strong><br \/>\n978 669 0122 ask for Stacey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Beerdinner, #Beer, @GardnerAle Julia Child Beer Dinner What: 5 House Beers, 5 Gourmet Courses, How Much: 50 People, $50 When: Thursday, November 4, 6 PM Julia Child died on August 16, 2004.
