As promised Friday’s “destination”.
Chef W (the “student”) cooking for Chef P (the “teacher”).

Chef W’s sandbox, territory, “house”
The normal beginnings.

Chopsticks,Bread and “Spread”
Chef P was late. The Cat and The Mouse were waiting, and waiting, and waiting …
Server came and took back the bread and would bring it back later, warmed. Aww!
I guess we looked starved, Chef W sent this out to “keep us occupied”.

A little something something
Prosciutto, olives, artichoke, goat cheese, and greens. Nom!

And Nom Naan Bread!
Nom times 2! I think naan bread is now one of The Cat’s favorite.
Finally, after Chef P arrives, the “real” eating begins.
We interrupt this program to insert this disclaimer. While The Mouse got some of the description, he didn’t get it all so some of the text description is lacking. But … as they say … a picture is worth a thousand words. So …
We now return to our regular programming. Thank you.
Wine.

Chef P’s choice
First course.

Hamachi Carpaccio
Pickled Watermelon Turnip, micro greens, and caviar! First time trying for The Cat and The Mouse. Yum!

Fish, shrimp, clam, mussel. Happy.
Fourth course.

Okay, getting full, but it’s just a little bite. Plus, Chef W went through the trouble, so … twist my arm. 🙂
Fifth course.

Twist my arm some more. Loosen belt, quietly belch. Hee hee.

Close Up
Tea.

Peppermint Tea
To help digestion (sorry TMI).
Dessert(s).

For the b-day “boy”
Too funny. Chef W misspelled his teacher’s name. Maybe it was on purpose (just kidding).

For the Table

Pineapple, Lilikoi? and Guava? Sorbet
Fresh Berries
Much Mahalo Chef W. Awesome experience!
Enjoy. Eat well.
