master chef chez sa mere


The chef at work, decimating the fridge. He doesn't cook as I do, that is, pick a recipe and get the ingredients. He opens the fridge, sees what's there and improvises.
My contribution to the repast
Hors d'oeuvre: endive filled with guacamole mixed with smoked bacon, grilled onions and cherry tomatoes
Second hors d'oeuvre: grilled peppers filled with couscous, tangelos, my garden tomatoes and basil.
Main course - roast pork with garlic and rosemary, barbecued new potatoes with grilled onions, roasted eggplant with tomato sauce and peppers
Let me at it!!!

    I will, Theresa. I also told him that I'm happy if he makes simple grilled cheese sandwiches - this was so much work. But he enjoys cooking in a way I never did and still do not. It's a wonderful generosity and much appreciated.

    Yes Carole - it was all delicious. And yet he doesn't want to cook professionally because then he wouldn't enjoy it any more!

    He truly is an artist. Even though I wouldn't eat most of that I can certainly admire his incredible creativity! Love, Lani

    Maybe the smells might have tempted even you, Lani. Though not the eggplant in tomato sauce, I do concede that. But roast potatoes and roast pork - mmmmm.
