As you may have noticed from my blog posts, the Inn at Little Washington is a favorite restaurant of ours, with a combination of stunning food and warm hospitality.\u00a0 (We always feel treated like family when we go.). This past weekend will be remembered in the family chronicles as the Inn at Little Washington weekend.
\nJade wanted to hold a \u201cthank you\u201d party for her friends.\u00a0 This all started in 7th grade during bar\/bat mitzvah year.\u00a0 She asked for a bat mitzvah party, and we pointed out that since we aren\u2019t Jewish, that would be a tad difficult.\u00a0 Jim eventually told her that we would throw her the equivalent of a bat mitzvah if she was accepted into Stanford (she didn\u2019t have to go, but she had to be accepted).\u00a0 Dinner at the Inn at Little Washington with her friends was what she wanted.
\nWe booked both kitchen tables on Saturday night for the late seating and had a limo bus ready to go.\u00a0 Everyone arrived early (our biggest fear, since punctuality is not her friends\u2019 strong point, as fond as I am of them) and off they went.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAll eleven friends elected to spend the night at our house, given the lateness of their return.\u00a0 (Note:\u00a0 12 teenagers in one house is not for the OCD amongst you.). Most importantly, everyone (especially Jade) had a fabulous time.\u00a0 For some reason, no one was particularly hungry at breakfast the next morning.\u00a0 Can\u2019t imagine why.
\nSunday was Marcus\u2019s turn.\u00a0 For his birthday, we gave him a dinner for 6 at the Inn.\u00a0 So, Sunday afternoon, he and 5 of his friends piled into a different limo bus (one that was much more limo than bus) and went off to the Inn for dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe three of us decided that we needed a dinner at the Inn as well but made sure we would be seated out of sight lines from the table of 9th graders.\u00a0 In addition to the always skillful and imaginative food, we were pleasantly surprised to have new dishes to sample\u2014all of which were delectable.
\nThe new dishes included:
\nCarmelized Catalan Foie Gras Custard, which quite possibly is the best foie gras we’ve ever had:<\/p>\n

Japanese Wagyu Beef Two Ways:\u00a0 Seventy-Two Hour Braised Short Rib and Ribeye Sashimi with Potato \u201cNoodles\u201d in Fragrant Broth (possibly the best dish of the night, which is saying something!)<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a lot more to be said, other than the fact that the Inn could not have been nicer about having 12 high school seniors descend upon them one night and then 6 high school freshmen descend upon them the following night.\u00a0 Their hospitality and graciousness created two evenings that will not be soon forgotten!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
