The Visiting Chef
A couple of weeks ago, we had a visit from a chef, otherwise known as Uncle Scott (Jack’s brother). He told us that he is not actually a chef, yet. Rather, he’s a cook. It didn’t matter to us because he taught us all how to make pasta and bruschetta. Soooo delicious!
Cheff Scott, armed and ready for battle
Emily, dressing the bruschetta.
Bruschetta... tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, basalmic vinegar and white nectarines. "Yum" doesn't even come close to how good this was.
Weigh your ingredients when making pasta.
Amanda's turn, adding moisture to the pasta dough
Thomas was first up to crank the pasta roller.
The dough goes through the roller several times, becoming thinner with each pass.
Finally, an attachment goes on that cuts the sheets into fetuccini. Notice the whipping cream in the yellow carton on the shelf behind Emily? That's going into the alfredo sauce.
Laying the cut noodles out, getting ready to cook them.
and Wha-la! Chicken fetuccini alfredo. Lunch is served!
Now a pasta roller is near the top of my Christmas list. Right behind Beatles Guitar Hero.
THANKS SCOOTER! What are we cooking next time?
Braised short ribs with BBQ glaze? Chicken cordon bleu? Risotto with mushrooms? Or a new (delicious) recipe I just came up with of a vegetarian white lasagna with a parmesan/gruyere Mornay sauce and fresh asparagus?
Looks like fun!Your girls look like you did at that age. Pretty weird seeing a blast from the past in present day!
Yes! I am amazed at how much they look like me! what is funny is how at some points I see my eyes in them, and then later it’s a smile or the nose or ??? So fun!
I found you!
And I just love your day with the chook (chef/cook). Can I come next time???
