Why We Don't Eat Out Much ....

Now someone is going to say --  boy is he full of himself tonight.

No, I hope I am not.  But Last weekend, Cindy and I went out to one of those higher priced eating establishments here in Saint John, and all I can say is that it was adequate.  The salads were good and so was the dessert.  But when you order a main course at a higher priced establishment, your choice will make or break the dining experience.

The dining experience, based on the food was a disappointment.  The wait staff were excellent and the atmosphere was good but that could not make up for a barely adequate main course.

Tonight, we enjoyed a wonderful meal.

Chicken Breasts -- Rosemary - Roasted Garlic - White Wine

Chicken Breasts  -- Bone in but skinless.  Taste issues.  Enough said.
Done in a cast iron fry pan.
With White wine, onions and rosemarary and garlic.
And topped with toasted coconut flakes.
 Deglaze the pan with more wine to create a tasty drizzle.

A side of sauteed brussel sprouts, chopped white turnip, and chopped Prosciutto ham.  With  lemon pepper herb mixture.

Served with rice and a drizzle of parmesan-garlic dressing on the rice and veggies.

Verdict for the meal?  Delicious!

If someone sends me an email and asks which dining establishment to avoid and save your money I will tell them.

If someone were to ask me where to find the great meal I just described, I would have to say there is no establishment taking reservations and your money.

But..... if you want to invite me and Cindy to your house.  Or if we invite you, we can prepare this great meal for you.  I love cooking and sharing life as we share food.




Grace and Peace


Happy Eating
