Let us try this again,
And by us , I mean me.
Two weeks ago Lee Loucas and I were Invited over to our friend Sam’s house for dinner. She told us she had trouble cooking for just herself and ended up making around 6-8 osso buco empanadas , as well as a healthy sized pot of wild rice with cherries and cashews, and not to forget steamed greens.
After dinner was finished and I poured the dregs into the lovely hostess’ glass , it was decided that another bottle (2) was (were) needed.
The three of us:
Sam (a chef at T’afia)
Lee (a HRM student , and future bar/ cafe/ restaurant owner)
and
Myself (a woman who is quite decent at putting things together with sugar , and one who doesn’t like measuring cups much).
Stumbled into the liking of an idea for a weekly (if we were all available ) monday night dinner. Seeing as how the three of us are all in the restaurant industry , and monday is usually our promised day off.
the next week (last week) we were hosted again by Sam. We were accompanied by two other guests, a friend of Sam’s and my boyfriend. The menu included:
Paprika shrimp , fried hearts of palm accompanied by an asian style slaw and papaya aioli.
I decided this time to bring us a treat as well. I made a Drunken Blueberry Apple crisp with a rum brandy sauce and we (of course) threw in some BlueBell vanilla bean icecream.
TonightIt is my turn to host/ cook. I already have some ideas in the works.
I may post in the interim about the chicken and biscuits that the boy and I made.
