It's that time of the rolling year, when your favorite dark chef rises once again from the dungeons of Stately Sad Old Goth Manor, to haunt the scullery and dining hall with creations to test the palates of those who inhabit the mortal coil...Tonight's repast - pan grilled portabello mushroom caps, which were marinated in extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar and a dash of soy sauce, served over a bed of cous-cous, diced tomatoes and vidalia onion, and, on the side, thinly sliced rounds of Portugese bread, fried in the reduced marinade, all washed down with frosty pint glasses of Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale. Ahhh, a great way to celebrate my return to the kitchen. I do so love to cook. Can the famous soups be far behind..?
pearls before swine...
