Meal Twelve: Pasta Carbonara with Corn and Chiles

Back to Basics!!  A variety of reasons lead to Dory, Bubbles and I recreating the original team and enjoying Pasta Carbonara with Corn and Chiles.

A nice simple meal of pasta, salad and bread... reminiscent of the days before we used to test our beloved chef with complexity!  The corn actually seemed to lighten this normally heavy dish and the chiles added nice kick.  Chef's Note:  would reserve more than an single cup of pasta water to have available ... a bit more would have been great to lighten the sauce.

We enjoyed ourselves,  and of course look forward to the return of the the full team!

Meal Seven : Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy

This meal had a few doubters at the start, but it was a big success.  Pork Chops with Tomato Gravy served over Cheese Grits ... southern goodness from a Yankee chef! The king kutter provided perfectly shredded cheese- as usual.

Meal Seventeen: Garlicky Pork Cutlets with Prosciutto, Lemon, and Sage

Repeat from many PD's ago ...   Garlicky Pork Cutlets with Prosciutto, Lemon, and Sage ...they came out perfectly thanks to a special early arrival of Piglet... some vacation time from work meant we got to enjoy his company all evening... sometimes Eeyore needs that support! Rounded out the meal with mashed taters and lima beans.  YUM!

Meal Five: Panko Crusted Haddock

Back by popular demand, the all time favorite ... Crunchy Fish!  The original recipe gets modified from cod to haddock and this sauce is fabulous.  Go for the regular mayo and make it the night before... YUM!  Squirts had a headache, so we missed him at the table, but saved him some dessert....
