Dragaeran feast

A quick clarification on the Dragaeran Feast at Opus this weekend -
The price will be $30 and their are only 18 seats left.

Description of said event is below:

Valabar's
It is a very simple place on the inside, with white linen tablecloths and
simple furnishings, but none of the decoration that most places have.  The
waiters are pleasant and charming and very efficient, and almost as
difficult to notice as Kragar when they are slipping up on you to refill
your wine glass. -- Taltos

The feast: 	("Barackaranybol" -- Taltos & red wine served throughout the
meal)

Hors d'oeuvre
The pate - made of goose liver, chicken liver, kethna liver, herbs, and
unsalted butter - was served on hard-crusted bread with cucumber slices that
had been just barely pickled. -- Taltos

Fresh scallops in lemon and garlic sauce -- Taltos

Salad
Tossed baby spinach with water-chestnuts, shredded carrots and baby shrimp
drizzled in a horseradish dressing.

Soup
Bowl of fish soup -- Orca

Main Course
At that point our pepper sausages showed up.  Laris - and Loiosh - were
right; it was very good.  They served it with green rice covered with cheese
sauce. -- Yendi

Kragar's date had the biggest stuffed cabbage in the world. -- Taltos

Mara had duck in plum brandy sauce. -- Taltos

Dessert
The sorbet was lemon -- Taltos

We followed it with dessert pancakes, mine with finely ground walnuts and
cream chocolate brandy sauce topped with oranges. -- Taltos

After Dinner
Klava - You press coffee through a filter made of eggshells and wood chips
with vanilla bean, then reheat it so it almost boils, then you pass it
through a cloth to remove any oils brought out by the reheating. -- Issola

Various pastries
