Chef Jeff has been at it again -- two meals in the past four days.
On Saturday night with E outta town, I had a couple of the boys over for an evening of Men Cooking (meaning men are doing the cooking, not that we're cooking men... because that would be creepy).
The original plan was for all of us to cook, but I don't know why we even bother with such plans, because the Chef is always on the job. No one I know has ever objected to Jeff cooking dinner. But I supplied the oysters both nights, and seriously, if you see Kumomotos right now, pick them up because the ones that we've been getting in at Whole Foods have been GOOD.
Saturday night's menu:
- Cheese Plate -- 3 hard cheeses
- Avocado Tacos
- Kumamoto Oysters,
- Arugula Salad with fresh fruit
- Scallop Pancakes
- Pan Fried Skate with Melted Leeks and Kale
- Guajillo Shrimp Risotto a la Jeff
Then on Tuesday evening, he and D invited us over for dinner. It was an unusually sober affair (it was a school night for everyone), but dinner was familiarly delicious.
Tuesday night's menu:
- Kumamoto Oysters
- Roasted Cauliflower and Almonds
- Roasted Fennel
- Sauteed Leeks
- Crostini w/Herbed Goat Cheese
- Roasted Garlic Portobellos
- Pan Fried Skate
- Cookies and Milk
Jeff says that skate is his all-time favorite fish and he'll make it anytime. Okay by me. It's tasty, versatile, and scores extra points for being carnivorous.
Both evenings were pretty low-key affairs, but with so much food involved, it wasn't at all surprising to see this...
And he's not even drunk.
