I must say (with little modesty) that this was an amazing dinner. Jason made dinner rolls (from CI) that were so fluffy and light; I made fish cakes (adapted a little from NYT: skipped the potatoes and mayo) and a homemade paneer and mango salad with ginger dressing (from Vegetarian Indian Feasts). The salad had roasted peanuts, red onion, cherry tomatoes, a little chopped jalapeno and cilantro, as well. The flavors were wonderful and it looked beautiful.  For dessert we had madeleines (from a Dory Greenspan recipe; I wasn't too fussy about chilling the pans and I skipped the lemon zest), best eaten immediately. So I immediately ate quite a few. I was startled to find out that Jason had never heard of Proust.

Terrible picture of one of the best meals I have made in a while
