Mexican Menu #3

Chips and guacamole 

I dont like guacamole but this was awesome number one new show!

Red chicken soup

The Chicken isnt red, its called that because it is made with tomatoes

Rice with Grilled Quail

Chile Relleno with a walnut cream sauce

Tamales with a Mole Sauce

Mexican Chocolate Souffle

Now these I was most proud of.  This was my first time making Souffle, and they turned out perfect.

Southern menu #2

So I decided to do this a little different.  Instead of doing seperate posts for every item, i am going to post by Menu. This is southern menu #2.

                          VIDALIA ONION TART WITH A TOMATO SAUCE AND A BASIL OIL SAUCE

                                                               SHRIMP PERLOO

CAROLINA PULLED PORK SANDWICH WITH HAND CUT SLAW, POTATO SALAD AND BBQ SAUCE

BANANA PUDDING PARFAIT WITH LAYERS OF BANANA PUDDING, NILLA WAFERS AND HOMEMADE PEANUT BRITTLE DUSTED. 

This meal was a lot of fun to make.  But I warn you if you are making more than the recipe says for the shrimp perloo it needs to cook longer than 20 minutes. 

Applesauce cake with carmel sauce

The ninja bakes again.  I am starting to figure out I am actually quite good at baking.  This cake rocked!

garlic, honey roasted duck with roasted potatoes and pearl onions.

Ok the slow roasted duck was moist and the skin was crispy I could eat this all the time.  Garlic and honey 2 of my favorite things and added to a sauce mmmm My glow level was 11 on this one.

braised short ribs, hand made noodles and sauted spinach and chard.

This was an amazing meal, and actually easy to make.  The ribs came out fork tender.  Yes i am available for parties!

Soft shell crabs with endive salad

Perhaps one of the oddest things I have ever eaten.  You eat the shell and all.  It was actually quite good.

Perhaps the greatest thing ever invented!(we even made the bleu cheese dressing from scratch)

This soup came out so good I would have ate 3 bowls but we only made 2.(unhappy face inserted here)
