...so here's the menu I'm doing for ECHGF's birthday dinner on Saturday:
Cucumber & Water Chestnut Salad
Cane vinegar, soy, fish sauce, key lime, brown sugar
Roasted Red Pepper & 3 Cheese Dip
Chevre, myzithra, Neufchatel, cracked pepper, tarragon, honey
Roasted Green Pepper & Elephant Butter Dip
Butter bean, elephant garlic, olive oil, rosemary, sea salt, scallion
Mélange de Boules
Angel's Nipples
Coppa, cotija, honeydew, candied lemon zest
Devil's Lollipops
Lamb, pork, lemongrass, coriander, curry, chili-garlic sauce, cilantro
Filet Mignon
Soubise rouge, shitake, compound butter
Yowza. It's good to be ECHGF.
"Mélange de Boules"
I don't know what that is, but it sounds kinda dirty.
I should mention that both of the dips are served in a whole roasted pepper.
The Devil's Lollipops are magical little meat nuggets skewered on a lemongrass stalk and grilled.
And the Angel Nipples, well, there's a reason I call them that.

It's a pretentious way of saying "basket of assorted bread rolls".

I was disappointed for a second, then I remembered who I was speaking with.
They're gonna put you in a cage one day, ECH. Children will poke you with sticks, between the bars.
Awesome looking menu.
Wowza.
Oh, and all the herbs (and the scallions) are locally sourced. As in, from the herb garden on my balcony. Hooray for eastern/southern exposure!
Goddamn that sounds delicious! She is a lucky lucky lady.
And you aren't a Master Chef, how?
Well, I guess not-Master Chef is going to be Master Chief on that evening (no, that wasn't misspelled).
