Over the next couple weeks, to get myself confident in feeding people for a living, I am going to go through my "food idea" notebook and make some of the random, crazy thoughts I write down into actual dishes.
Here are some of the things I am going to be working on (some are more seasonal, but nothing wrong with practicing ahead of the summer bounty):
Potato / Chorizo Puffs
Mini Puff Apple (Fruit) Pies
Chowder Pot Pie
Fried Oysters crusted with Spicy Cheetos
Pork, Pork and More Pork (Pork, breaded with Pork Rinds, seared with Bacon)
Snow Pea Slaw
Sweet Corn Gazpacho, Sweet Corn Bisque
Mongolian Beef Short Ribs / Mongolian Pork
Root Beer Syrup
Pear / Blue Cheese Pie (or App)
Bacon / Apple / Cheddar Pies
Cucumber (Lime / Melon / Honey) Sorbet
Trail Mix Brittle
Salts! (Arugula, Cherry, Cherry Cola, Coffee, Citrus)
Anything to add? Anything sound good? Anyone want to come over and be a taster? This is not a comprehensive list, but a beginning. Seriously, I write some crazy stuff down.
I'm dying to make a rootbeer cake. Yessiree. And celery soda. And a gen-u-ine Boston Cream Cake. Or is it Boston Cream Pie? Whichever one used corn starch instead of flour. Heh.
ReplyDeleteBrent, I saw your pics about some of the stuff you have been baking, yum! I always think I am not a sweets person, and then someone comes out with a cake or some awesome ice cream and i kind of forget. One of my favorite things is a root beer float, so I want to play around with that flavor combo. Oh and i LOVE BCP, so if you are making them, box one up and send it my way!
