One Of Those Malibu Nights (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Mac was an old-fashioned guy at heart. And she decided to start with butternut squash soup that tasted like sweet velvet scattered with crumbled almond cookies and cinnamon. No one would guess how easy it was to make. Then his favorite chicken cacciatore, which, like the soup, could be made in advance, so she wouldn’t be racing around the kitchen at the last minute. For dessert, her own personal favorite, a light-as-a-feather lemon cake from Mrs. Gooch’s on Melrose, served with low-fat Dreyer’s chocolate fudge ice cream. She’d thrown in the low-fat as a concession to her own conscience, though when you were romancing a guy you aimed to please. Plus she had bought a good champagne, Henriot, a lesser-known marc but famous in France, and a very splurgy bottle of Bordeaux, a Ducru-Beaucaillou that had cost far too much and which practically had to be opened the day before in order for it to breathe. Anyhow, that was her man-pleaser menu, everything carefully planned, the table beautifully set, in honor of her man, with very masculine graphite-gray table mats, plain square white dishes and streamlined silverware.
