- The scene: Jacqui and I had Sarah and Julie over for dinner last night.
- The plan: Jacqui would take care of dinner, I would take care of dessert.
- The reality…
Marty called last night when we got home, and asked if we were coming up to Cesar’s – his staff were looking after everything, and he was at a loose end. I answered in the negative due to the aforementioned plans, and Marty offered to cook. I thought he was kidding at first, but he insisted, so we were pretty happy about this, as Marty’s been a chef for 10 years or more, and knew his way around a kitchen. Was that the best decision of the week!
Chicken with a spinach and cream sauce, and a tomato based pasta. I could be a little biased due to the Wild Turkey used in the cream sauce, but it was the best meal I had eaten in a very long time. Everyone else there agreed though, so it must have been top notch. Sarah and I have been to quite a few restaurants lately, but this topped them all 🙂
The sauces were very flavoursome, but not too heavy, as can often happen. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and it all came together so well. I have come to accept this is the difference between myself, and someone who is a chef. However, I will continue to subject friends and family to my efforts, just to show I care.
