Greeting fellow food lovers. I apologize for the delay in posting, a great deal has been happening in our home. A wedding anniversary, graduating from culinary school, getting a dog and all the usual craziness that happens on a day to day basis. In celebration of our 1 year wedding anniversary we decided to recreate a meal from a local Bistro we frequent. We set out our best dishes, lit candles, dressed up and enjoyed a special dinner (without having to tip the waiter).
- Seared Seabass with Grilled Asparagus ★★★★★
The seabass is a secret yet simple recipe I picked up while working at said Bistro. The best kind of fish to get is fresh Chilean Seabass, it's mouthwatering when cooked until just barely done. The fish smell that lingers in the house is definitely worth it though. Grilled asparagus is a more appealing vegetable to Dustin and is one of my favorites, lightly grilled with salt and pepper. It's hard to go wrong with simple.
Risotto is a labor of love but again, well worth it. After stirring in the chicken stock ladle by ladle the finished product got a spritze of lemon zest, some cream and fresh grated parmesan cheese. Dustin finished off all the extra rice I had made, if that is any indication of how it tasted.
- Chocolate Molten Lava Cake with Warm Chocolate Sauce ★★★★★
I'm note sure where my recipe for chocolate cake came from but it is very good, moist and still firm enough to hold up to a scoop of ice cream. To make it a lava cake I just dropped in some chocolate chunks after I had put them in the muffin tins. It's a good thing I put the extra right into the freezer, we could have eaten a dozen of them.
★★★★★ - Great ★★★★ - Good
★★★ - Satisfactory ★★ - Fair ★ - Poor
Sadly that's all for now I'm off to make a mess in the kitchen and attempt traditional Thai Red Curry. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes, what with all the exotic flavors (our poor neighbors must love the smell of boiling fish sauce). Until next time
Good Luck, God Bless and Good Eats
Dustin and Kathryn
