LEAP DAY DINNER PARTY

Velvet spent an entire week preparing this dinner party between roommates(-in-law), and they will not be cancelling just because of the human body hell situation. The catered dishes have been magically transported to her and Adzuki's apartment, and the entire evening is reserved for getting to know each other. No one is allowed to leave early. 😈

The dinner table, decked with a red velvet tablecloth, is lit with tall candles and adorned with roses. Anatolia has been provided with a special high chair and a goose-appropriate kid's menu.

MENU

As they're celebrating the leap year, Velvet attempted a compromise between her usual gothic vampire aesthetics and appropriate holiday theming. (She doesn't immediately explain that it's themed—at what point do you catch on?)

• Charcuterie: Dark fruits, decadent sausages, red beet chips, charcoal crackers, with a wheel of brie topped with blood orange syrup.


• Appetizer: Cuisses de grenouille à la provençale, which the French will recognize as frog legs fried with butter, garlic and parsley.


• Soup: Light rabbit stew with white wine and mushrooms.


• Salad: Red kale with blackberries, pumpkin seeds, feta, and a blackberry shallot vinaigrette.


• Main Course: Miso-ginger glazed salmon on white rice.


• Dessert: Cricket macarons, made from cricket flour and garnished with gold-painted crickets.


• Wine: Irresponsibly copious, given that none of them have supernatural constitutions anymore. Both red and white are available.

This is a lovely book! Cyprien hasn't read it before and he almost goes and sits alone to read it exactly right now, but decides that's poor dinner manners and just thanks her very much instead!
