I cooked in total about two full days, okay maybe fifteen hours, and it was good. Jaybill and I did the turkey four ways: wing confit, bacon wrapped thighs, smoked legs, and deep fried breasts. For appetizers we had shrimp salad crostini, sekel pear with fig and blue cheese, and several delicious stinky cheeses from New Seasons, courtesy of Sasha, our friend who works there. As side dishes we had Gravy Bombs (above, the creative presentation of the week,) sweet potato crumble, roasted root vegetables, garlic mashies, and spinach salad with bacon vinegrette. Dessert was comprised of cranberry sorbet, apple pie, pumpkin pie and lemon meringue pies. and since it was Keri’s birthday the following day, I made her a cake. It was Kaluha Chocolate Flourless with toffee crust and White Chocolate Basil Ice Cream. I didn’t take too many pictures, but it was a great meal that we all enjoyed. I was souind asleep bt 10 pm.
Creative Presentation of the Week: Fried Waffles

So the waffle maker had been hit with degreaser, and the waffles were coming out all chemical tasting (and poisonous,) so we had all this extra waffle batter. What ever will we do, Chef? Well …he showed us. Deep Fried Waffles with Hollandaise sauce. This is how great food is invented. Little extra bit of this, little too much of that, little different method and presentation, and um, well thats delicious! Also today: burned caramel and then threw hazelnuts all over the room. I’ve been feeling a little distracted. Two jobs is rough. I need to focus. All this eating I mean cooking.
Creative Presentation of the Week…Burger-Ka-Bob

My buddy Matt Peasner set me up with this burger because he thought I might eat it easier with my tender healing wrist. As soon as he brought it into the kitchen and gave it to me, three people (including two sous chefs) said “OOOOH I want one!!” Case and point…first thing you eat with is your eyes. Matt is a solid cook, who has also dabbled in pastry, and he never leaves the restaurant without making sure I’ve eaten. Rock on Peasner!!
