Kirkland decided to make a lovely 5 course dinner for his family. I was his sous chef/runner/cleaner. It was amazing to see all the courses come together and finally eat them. It was quite a bit of work to make that many dishes...and there were so many dishes to wash! But I thought it was really worth it. Kirk is such an amazing chef and baker. It was such a treat to cook alongside him. Every dish was so well thought out and tweaked with special Kirk touches. He even made vanilla french macaroons with raspberry filling. We made those the night before (so much work!), but because they are so difficult to make, we kinda messed up over half the batch. It was sad....we only salvaged 12 really good, serve-able ones. We are going to have to make that one again sometime. Kirk also had purchased a Nespresso machine from Williams Sonoma. Heehee...I made the mistake of drinking a regular espresso at night. I was bouncing off the walls. But lucky (or unluckily) for Kirk, not only did I keep bugging him, I washed all the dishes from the dinner and cleaned up the table. I don't think it will be happening anytime soon, but I can't wait until Kirk's next fancy dinner.
The table setting for Kirk's 5 course meal
Amuse bouche: vegetable soup
Sashimi with red and green tobiko and gobo root
Warm baby beets and spinach salad with di parma prosciutto wrapped scallop
Buta kakuni with eggplant and Matsutake gohan
Braised leg of lamb and roasted red potatoes
Chocolate ganache and raspberry tartlet with ice cream
Thanks for all your help babe! It wouldn't have happened without your help! Thanks for everything.
