The Drunken Monk cocktails! Beef Tetaki with shaved black truffle and truffle jus - yum! Yuzu Miso Marinated Black Cod wrapped in a Japanese Magnolia Leaf - so good. I think I prefer the miso glaze on the fish, but this fish was just as flakey and delicious as always.
Delicious Bucatini pasta (fresh pasta filled with cheese) with fresh lump crab meat and truffle in a light cream sauce. One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had! It of course went very well with Chardonnay...great dinner with friends at Dick & Jenny's restaurant in the Garden District of New Orleans. Highly recommend! David was so excited to relive one of the great moments of his Bachelor Party in New Orleans by getting a muffuletta sandwich from Central Grocery. We enjoyed the sammies sitting on a park bench overlooking the river and listening to a street performer. I of course gave David some of the big olives but the sandwich was very good. Hurricanes and Mint Julips at Pat O'Briens! Wonderful fried shrimp po'boy fully dresse from Mahoney's in the Garden District. Great local place that was also featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives! Any restaurant that says "More Chardonnay" on the menu has my vote! One of the best meals of the trip and a great way to end our New Orleans trip with good friends. Bacon wrapped shrimp and mascarpone grits. Yummy!!! Went splendidly This is what David bought from the store upon our return from 4 days in New Orleans - much needed hydration and detox!
This morning my husband and I were trying to figure out what to do for breakfast. We were just going to make scrambled eggs but he offered to try something which always leads to something exciting. He said he wanted to try to make a fritatta so he looked up the basics of a recipe online and got started.
He pulled out: Egg Whites White Onion Green Onion Parsley Heirloom Tomatos Mashed Potatoes (from a previous meal) Pepper Turkey Thick Sliced Bacon Franks Red Hot Wings Buffalo Sauce Sliced Cheddar Cheese He then mixed all the ingredients in individual ramekins so we would be able to have one with turkey and one with bacon. The results were amazing! What a great breakfast for a Sunday watching the 49ers win agains Carolina. My husband and I always like to talk about what we are going to make for dinner on our shuttle ride home from work - it has actually turned into a joke as I am always the one to ask the question. This week, I tried to be creative and healthy and made Asian Turkey burgers this week - very easy and delicious! David was quite impressed!
Ingredients: Extra Lean Ground Turkey Ginger (out of the tube - super easy and full of flavor!) 1/4 cup chopped white onion Green onion 2 cloves chopped garlic Chopped parsley Ginger soy dressing (adds some oil to the burger) Sweet chili sauce Soy sauce Toppings: Swiss Cheese Thinly sliced red onion Heirloom Tomato Cucumber Cilantro Side of steamed broccoli I mixed all the ingredients together, making sure not to over mix. I thought I added too much of the ginger, so I took some out, but it turned out to be a fine amount to use and really added an "it" factor to the burgers. I grilled them on my new panini press grill and they turned out great! We had such an amazing trip to Kapalua, Maui with David's family, complete with snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, and some amazing eats - highlights below! Amazing local Hawaiian fish on top of edamame and mushroom risotto with a miso soy ginger sauce. Oh my gras! Seared Foie gras on top seared ahi tuna with truffles... One of my favorite cocktails I have ever had - fresh pineapple juice, vodka, thyme, and coconut foam in a chilled martini glass. Delicious quadrant appetizer - from top left clockwise - kalua pork quesidilla with a spicy dipping sauce, warm crusted goat cheese with pickled onions, avocado and strawberries, ahi poke with terra chips, and lobster on top of heirloom tomato. Our view for dinner at Merriman's at Kapula Beach - gorgeous! Last cocktail in Maui - cucumber and pineapple mojito!
