NEW YEAR'S EVE DINNER - ONE OF THE BEST OF MY LIFE!
DINNER AT HOME
Awesome to spend the end of 2021 at home with my Wife and Daughter. My Daughter returns to college and we will not see her for months. My Wife did not want to eat meat so we came up with this menu that was absolutely one of the best meals of my life. Yes, of my life. Of all the restaurants and home cooked meals in my life, this one was the best. Every single dish shined with flavor. We started with fresh Sashimi and Avocado. I was lucky to get a nice block of Ahi that was super red, glossy and free of fat lines. It cut like butter and melted in your mouth. Finally got the perfect Avocado too. Rich, smooth and buttery. Next up was one of the best Caviar dishes of my life if not the best. I cut Brioche bread into small circles and toasted it. Topped with Creme Fraiche, Egg, Red Onion and Caviar. Holy cow these were amazing. The combination of Brioche, Creme Fraiche and Caviar was incredible. My Wife who is not a big lover of Caviar lit up when she took her first bite. She loved it. Next up were Grilled Artichokes. Now I never eat Artichokes and really don't like them, but since having a really good one at the Hitching Post in Buellton, CA I am somewhat of a convert. My Wife and Daughter love Artichokes but they have never tasted the ones at the Hitching Post. I did some research and found the recipe for the Hitching Post Artichokes online and we prepared them following the recipe. Also made the dipping sauce which takes this dish to another level.
What made this the perfect recipe is that I had a bottle of the Hitching Post seasoning called "Magic Stuff" (see below). Put this in the dipping sauce and all over the Artichokes before grilling. Results were spectacular. Just as good as the Hitching Post. I could eat Artichokes prepared like this every day of the week. Next I made Seared Foie Gras with Glazed Korean Pear. Another home run of incredible flavor. I sautéed the Korean Pear in a bit of the duck fat and sugar and then combined with a Balsamic Glaze. This dish was like dining in one of the finest restaurants in New York or London. For the entree we enjoyed a Duo of Lobster Tails with Au Gratin Potatoes and Asparagus. Another home run making this definitely one of the best dinners of my life and we did it at home. I don't think the bottle of champagne I drank while enjoying this meal had any influence on my review. Happy New Year!

FATHERS DAY AT HOME 2010
FATHERS DAY AT HOME
HONOLULU, HI
I am a very blessed man. Woke up to the two most beautiful woman in the world today. Had a Eggs Benedict breakfast served with fresh strawberries. After church we came home and worked on the computer, played some volleyball and did some reading. To cap off the day my lovely bride made me a huge lobster dinner with rice, salad and fresh vegetables. This lobster was huge and delicious. I would write more but my girls just presented me with some chocolate covered strawberries.
