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 Ten: Skillet Macaroni with Zesty Meat Sauce

This was good easy fare for a rainy Summer evening. Skillet Macaroni with Zesty Meat Sauce gave us the chance to use our basil (which recovered from some type of animal attack earlier this season) and new pan. It was a generous portion with enough leftovers for everyone. We didn't want to be too simple for our skilled chef, so we added a bakery component. Garlic Cheese Biscuits from Paula Deen were perfect! These yummy little treats did NOT have any leftovers. Even our birthday boy Squirt noticed right when he walked in... "those look like the Bisquick biscuits my mom used to make", to which we responded "they are!"
