Merry Day-After-Christmas!
Been away from the blog for a few days, thanks to my other “job” – Executive Chef at Chez Lowe. And since my kids have outgrown more traditional holiday fare, I had (by request) a set of rather challenging Xmas Eve/Xmas menus to create. Specifically, a range of Asian-themed hors d’oeuvres for Xmas Eve; followed by an elaborate Xmas brunch (eggs benedict) + dinner (seafood newburg in puff pastry; w/homemade tiramisu for dessert).
Healthy? Not a chance! It was awesome, though… worth the three days spent in the kitchen.
(And yes, with all the prep work involved, it really did take three days. I work a lot more slowly and carefully than this guy does, lol…
)
At any rate, I’m now officially burned out on cooking rich, exotic meals! Time to return to simpler, healthier (but still tasty!) dishes… and my regularly scheduled work.
C’ya tomorrow!

Sounds like a couple awesome meals there. Hopefully it was worth all the extra work. You sure do have a lot of delicious sounding meals at Chez Lowe.
Hope your Christmas Holiday went well, wish you the best in the New Year!
