Stone pagoda at Tokyo Bowl, which has turned into our Monday night healthy restaurant go to spot.

March 6, 2011 – A Colaborative Dinner

We had one of our new friends we met through the Shoot Miami Meetup group over for a collaborative dinner.

The Spread

Apps

Home made duck prosciutto (more on that soon… I made it as part of Charcutepalooza and suffice it to say, it was a huge hit)

Bacon jam (made with my very own home made bacon, no less)

Goat cheese

Slow roasted tomato jam (also coming soon. I’m a bit behind) served with toasted flour tortilla chips.

Mains

Chris’s fantabulous grits with a slow-cooked ragout of mini sweet peppers, white onions and chipotle topped with batons of home made bacon

Kevin’s awesome lamb stuffed with herbs & garlic with a garlicky tzatziki sauce

Pitas & sundried tomato tortillas for wrap making

The meal was a complete success and I predict this is just the first of many future collaborations. 🙂

Night palm outside the Sunrise Cinema after seeing The Adjustment Bureau. Good movie. Think Dark City meets love story meets existential crisis. I forgot how good of an actor Matt Damon actually is.

The start of a pretty yummy creation: butternut squash, spinach & Italian sausage with carraway seeds & crushed red pepper.

Perhaps my favorite way of preparing cruciferous vegetables: broiled. Mmmmm… nutty goodness.

Ah, the gym, how I’ve (kinda) missed thee, my old “friend.” Just like I left you–in the basement & empty.

Back on track with a big Thai Chicken 500 calorie salad after eating like complete and utter poo while away last week. Yay, vegetables.

First day back in town, and already out taking pictures. No rest for the wicked, I guess. Spider Monkeys taken at Zoo Miami (formerly Miami Metro Zoo).
