[madmonday]

the fish in the heavy frying pan was being seared for my mean non-cooking wife, the rest was all for me.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmh!

[Giles]

Time to convert these into jelly….

[mclaincausey]

Those look like a Fuji Apple and a cherry had a baby; forgive my ignorance, but what are they?

[Giles]

Crab Apples…

[Giles]

Crab apple jelly complete, now I can go to the office….

[Zentner]

Nice Giles.. my family has been making crab apple jelly for decades.

I did a little take on a Bánh mì… Viet beef loin with crispy tofu, sesame herb salad and taro onion jam.

I'm no chef, never went to school for culinary arts, never worked in a restaurant. I just really enjoy fine dining, and I think I have a pretty good knack for nontraditional flavor combinations. I spent a great deal of money at Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas this summer, and got a ton of inspiration from him.

Minus the beef I'd even eat the plate that dish came on…

Yea, wow, Zentner - your food looks amazing!  Giles does 90%+ of the cooking in our house and makes fab meals, but we don't often focus on presentation - usually by the time it's ready we just grab it and eat!

Do you entertain much?  You definitely have a talent

…and after the 86 knocked on the door, we made some pumpkin pie soup:

fecking love me some badass soup when the rather is shitty outside

Sorry… but I work for lululemon athletica. I'd love to own a restaurant someday though, and I sure do like cookin'!
