my dh is so hot

well, his cooking is .

we're having a dinner party on sunday night. he just gave me the finalized menu:

1st course: raw asparagus salad with garlic confit vinaigrette and pickled radishes
2nd course: caramelized carrot soup
3rd course: seared lamb lollipops with glazed sunchokes
dessert: deconstructed watermelon mojito

[emyinpink]

apparently the dessert is going to be rum and simple syrup infused watermelon with spherified creme de menthe and lime juice, with some sort of whipped cream.

Oh DEAR on the caramelized onions! I'm dying over here!

Emy that menu sounds delish!

my husband makes pancakes. that's the most difficult thing on the menu. i'm jealous.

Jennuine, LOVE IT.

britt, it's his hobby, but he's pretty serious about it. he cooks pretty fancy dinners every night, has read books and books (including the massive modernist cuisine books), has tons of equipment (sous vide machine, chamber vacuum sealer), and I think if he wasn't an engineer, he'd definitely be a chef.

GEEZ, I want to come to a meal at YOUR house!! I think molecular gastronomy is so fascinating and a lot of the more 'modern' cooking methods like your husband uses. Just can't justify all that awesome (and expensive) equipment. That all sounds sooooo yum!

I'd love that sunchokes recipe! My husband made a salad with them once that was good. Then the time I tried, it was not soo good

Jennuine - I just DIED at that story!

Jennuine, your story made me cry from laughing!

And emy, that is a hot dinner party menu if I ever saw one. Sounds amazing!

That menu sounds amazing!

jennuinne that is too funny! My friend once tried to make peanut butter cookies by putting peanut butter and butter on a pan and baking it. You can imagine what a dissaster that was. Funny thing is now she is in culinary school!

yum. my husband wouldn't know what to do with that either. lol. to be honest, me either, i could probably google it though.
