I had a Date this Morning

This morning I had a chance to meet with the supervisory board of the California Date Comittee here in Indio. I got to share my passion for all things DATES , and also prepared a very tasty little dish for them. I served my Date & Onion compote with red wine reduction, garlic and thyme over some cave aged tallegio cheese on stoneground wheat crackers. They loved it so much, they've asked permission to use the recipe for this weekend, where they will be exhibiting to over 10,000 people at the PMA Fresh Summit convention in Orlando, FL. Yay for Dates!
