The almighty test kitchen....
Tempura Brie, Provolone and Pineapple-OK, this is the part I forgot about when we did original tempura, I put these in the freezer and forgot about them...Next day we pull them out and Greg fried them, they were ok....the provolone was wedge kind of thick and it held up really good with the tempura. This was of particular reason I wanted to try the provolone...
Unfortunately, somebody that makes a lot more money than I do thinks that having mozz sticks on the banquet menu is acceptable behavior so my only option is to invent a chafer friendly "cheese stick" and then say..."hey, here...taste this...."
So, with that said, the brie was pretty good but needed that sweet happy thing going on with the brie---a roasted vidalia jam or something fun and funky...I liked the provolone, but didn't get a chance to throw any in the hotbox to see how long they held up...they were subject to a major taste sample...freaking staff.....the pineapple was pretty good dusted with a little cinnamon....
Udon Noodles in Green Curry Sauce
I turned Greg onto Udon a couple months ago and now he is addicted...beats the hell out of Ramen's I guess...They are by far my favorite pasta...
So, I walk into work the other day around 12 or so and Greg whipped up this sauce for the Udon Noodles...he wraps it up and tries to give me some, I just walked in the door and didn't taste them, by the time I got around to it he had put them up and then blocked the walk in door because I wasn't allowed to taste his mystery sauce that was supposed to make me all happy and cheffy dancing in the kitchen...
So, I go in and taste his sauce eventually and he is waiting outside for a reaction when I come out of the walk-in knowing that I am gonna be CheffyDancing when I came out of the walk-in...so I just walked out and didn't say a word..."What? No Comments? You ain't gonna say nothing just walk in there taste my sauce and then come out of there and say nothing????????????BullShit!!!!!!!!!!!!" " Yeah, Greg it's OK...."
Needless to say he went on a little rant- a little cuss word explanation of how I think he really felt about my not saying anything about this Green Curry sauce....it was pretty comical....But the sauce did rock though, a green curry cream sauce...would have been awesome with coconut milk or something like that, a little more salt or add Tamari and less hot...but it was really good if you like hot, nice flavor but really hot...
Other Toys....
Chicken Etouffee-One of my old dishes from Mr. Flood's Party so many years ago...fed the staff, had some chicken that I needed to get rid of...
Can't think of anymore for the time being...but stay tuned...
