Tid Bits
Oyster Chowder with Parmesan Tuiles alongside a Fried Oyster Salad with Tabasco Croutons
This is it. The final plating. Please comment and tell me what you think. Be HONEST! Would you order this? Click on the pic to see the whole thing.......
it looks fantastic, obviously you are talented. like, really really got IT! you want honest though, so here's my honest. I'm with Leigh on oyster plus oyster, (there's a pearl joke in there somewhere but it fails me at the moment). My other immediate reaction was "the salad looks heavy and wet". Next to a bowl of creamy soup my preference would be a very light crispy delicate salad.
But you already know I don't know shit, crap I can't stand cheese and won't eat anything slimy, so for sure take my advise with a teeny little grain of Morton table salt. I think you're the shiznits and love this blog! Go get your little bitty ass on the Foodie Show, can't wait to see it. now, if you could just teach me how to make a decent steak.......
And you know I don't know chit either but 2 things come to mind. 1. My arsteest brain likes 3zees not 2zees, so I would prefer the salad in a seperate dish on the charger. 3. The parmasan tulle looks delicate and tasty but where's the bread woman? I like to dip my bread in salad dressing AND chowder to sop up every morsel. OINK!
Hi! A little about me....I was a hairdresser and part time chef for 28 years. Found my way into life insurance and annuities, and traveled the country for the past two years. Loved it, but the travel every weekend had gotten old. So, I asked myself, Self....what is your PASSION? It was as clear as the wart on my chin....COOKING! So, I am still doing life insurance and protecting families, but on a local level. In the meantime I "auditioned" for a fabulous new job, as a Foodie! I am a food demonstrator, wine pairer ( is that a word?) and occasional chef! I am having the time of my life! I have been cooking since I was 6 years old. I have traveled all over the world, and my favorite part has been sampling the local cuisine. Food and Friends go together like peas and carrots!!! My husband and I are avid sailors, and enjoy entertaining in the Caribbean for a month every year. I hope to bring you some cool recipes, and some hilarious stories of my adventures. This blog will not be for the faint of heart. I just call it like I see it! So, sit back, relax, and please feel free to comment at any time! This is going to be a work in progress! I'm so glad you're here! ;)
it looks deevine. But, for me? i would not order both oyster dishes - don't know if that helps or not, but they look FABULOUS!!!
