I'm a very lucky girl because my brother in law Jack loves to cook. My sister, his wife, is even luckier because she gets to eat his "experiments" all the time. She learned to cook at a short cooking course at Enderun Colleges (www.enderuncolleges.com) and we, her family, are proud of her.
So far she has made us a panna cotta. It was yum, but not really cooking...she hasn't really shown us her range of cooking prowess yet. She says she is saving cooking for us when she moves into her new house.
But I digress. She is Jack's sous chef to his chef, making the bernaise sauce for the steak or dessert for the meal, but I know she can shine and cook a great meal all on her own.
She called me this week because Jack was in a cooking mood and he was going to make steak.
For some reason, a hunk of roasted meat was exactly what the doctor ordered. So I came over to their house just in time for dinner.
The meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and that au jus was jussss sublime. Jack lamented he should've taken the meat out of the oven earlier, but it was still medium and pretty in pink on the inside.
But those potatoes! My god, they were like a dying man's last request of mashed potatoes. The put bacon in it and topped it off with fried onions. Mm Mm Mm!
It was only me who ate dessert of chocolate molten cake and ice cream with macadamia. Sorry, I forgot to take a photo again of the dessert. Need to fix that user problem. Calling technical!
I am a happy guinea pig. Margie and Jack, thank you for the lovely meal. Can't wait for the new house to be done and for brudder to have all the counter space he needs!
