In the marking of a special occasion this past Wednesday night at the Roediger House, a special dinner menu was fitting: slow-roasted beef tenderloin with spicy horseradish sauce; Brussels sprouts gratin; twice-baked stuffed potatoes; and, for those who were so inclined, some homemade cinnamon applesauce.
There was a special salad to start it off as well: spring mix with blue cheese and cinnamon-vanilla-glazed walnuts and a sweet and sour vinaigrette.
"Spiced Pecan and Blue Cheese Salad," inspired by the signature salad at Ryan's Steaks, Chops, & Seafood (an excellent Winston-Salem restaurant). "Sweet and Sour Vinaigrette" from The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook, compiled and edited by Julie Fisher Gunter. Birmingham, AL: Oxmoor House (1999), p. 373. "Cinnamon Vanilla Glazed Walnuts" recipe from McCormick & Company. Thanks as always to Jimmy Randolph for helping me track down those recipes.
