Tonight’s dinner was rather simple, since Wendy & I were both busy today. Wendy went to work on the set for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS which opens in early May at Falcon Theater. I went to Coney Island to work in Cafe des Fluer, a…

DINNER 112: Saturday, April 22, 2006

Tonight, we went out to dinner with our friends Brian & Milan. We try to go out every few months to enjoy some adult time away from everyone and everything else. We very much enjoy their company. We met at BLUE GIBBON, an Asian restaurant…

HAPPY MOUTH — April 2006

HAPPY MOUTH — April 2006

Tonight was another outing of the HAPPY MOUTH supper club! It was Jay’s month to pick, and a group of us — Ted, Tracy, Wendy V, Doug, Ron, Holly, Ed, Angel, Jay, Drew, Dave, and Robin — met at BALTIC for their European-style Cuisine. We sampled all sorts of appetizers including perogies, their “jumble” salad, and more. Settling into the entrees, we enjoyed Chicken Kiev, a wonderful fish dish, portobello upside-down (a stuffed portobello cap), and others. I particularly enjoyed my Chicken-Dumpling-with-Mushroom-Sauce dish. It was hearty and very tasty. The perfect thing for a cold evening, which this wasn’t.

Another successful Happy Mouth!

DINNER 110: Thursday, April 20, 2006

After a late meeting at work, on the way home, I stopped for some Chinese take-out. I must have been hungry, because I ordered shrimp fried rice, potstickers, and some cold noodles. I ate all the potstickers, most of the cold noodles, and barely touched the fried rice — leftovers for this weekend! Then I proceeded to fall asleep on the couch for a few hours before giving up and going up to bed. At 9:30pm!

Tonight was the second night of my GARDE MANGER class, so I went directly from work to the kitchens at Cincinnati State. We sliced our chicken galentines, made duck confit, and worked on duck terrines in addition to slicing & tasting foie gras. It was…
