1st Trimester
Cheffin is currently a desk job.
I've been locked in my office for the last 2 hours. I have to create a menu for a 7 course wine pairing dinner, one course of which was labeled (by me) as "weird ass ingredient course".
I meet with the wine lady tomorrow, and to prepare for menu finalization and wine pairings, I have to create 5-10 items to offer for each course so we can find the best fit possible with each wine. I'm going to die. That's so many random dishes I have to just create while sitting here staring at the walls. I feel like I'm in college again, writing midterm papers on classes I had yet to attend.

Re: Cheffin is currently a desk job.
I haven't figured that one out yet. Just something people don't usually eat. lolz Looking over my notes though, I labeled it "Weird ass ingredient/ Salad"
I am not with it at the moment. haha Hope I don't have to cook today. I'll repost with some rough ideas from each category, since I've been lacking on the recipe share lately anyway.
"Pregnant Ladies Tour Spain Through Culinaria!"
Hmmm. Weird ass ingredient.... That might vary from state to state. I know someone in Kansas who things anything other than ice berg lettuce is "weeds".
Wine.... Isn't it sad that now our sense of taste and smell is so powerful and yet we can not have much of that wonderful stuff.
Tell me what wines you are doing? Any specific winery?
And here my mind went immediately to veal sweetbreads...
I was visiting DH's family in Iowa a year ago and made a salad with balsamic vinaigrette to go with dinner and they were really confused. Grandma-in-law kept asking if she should get out the mayo.
lol! I actually did sweetbreads for Valentines day. And it's on the list under the meat category. Mmm tastes like chicken. For V-day I did them dusted in cocoa (it was a chocolate themed menu). Went over really well, except this one girl who ordered them per our servers suggestion, and then when she was like halfway through, she asked the server what it was because it was "so good". Ana (server) said "I'll tell you when you're done, just keep enjoying it" and the girl demanded to know that minute. So Ana says simply "Thymus glad" and points to her throat. And the girl cried in the middle of the dining room and started screaming at Ana that she was an awful server for recommending that she eat a cow gland. I heard it from the kitchen. It made me laugh for a solid 10 minutes
Ice Berg = Crunchy Water
I will tell you the specific wines tomorrow after my meeting, I'm just supposed to create the food and the sommelier will match. She has oodles more years of wining and dining than me, so I'm going to leave this to the professional. Every culinarily important person in town will be here for this dinner so I'm not going to risk letting my confused taste buds have any part of this.
