Yikes! I think I dug myself a hole.
Earlier this year, Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic featured me in her series, Burning Down the Kitchen where she replicated the Bucatini All'Amatriciana I originally published more than two years ago. I returned the favor about a month later when she became my inaugural blogger for my Adding Some Class with... series. In both cases, a major theme is that I like to challenge myself in the food I prepare. Well when I volunteered to do a guest post for Kim, I knew I had to prove I had to "walk the walk" so-to-speak since we talked the talk.
It's interesting how my strategies have evolved over the course of the last two years. I started out profiling unusual cooking methods for the home cook and making food from scratch but I'm finding recently that food pairing and dish composition more satisfying than straight execution. In all honesty, it took me several days to decide upon the components in this dish and I couldn't do I without my copy of The Flavor Bible. Ultimately, I had some execution failures which I will go further into detail at Kim's but first please reach her at Facebook, G+, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, twitter on top of her Kiss My Smoke Facebook and Pinterest pages if you haven't already.
The Challenge
Live up to the reputation I've built for myself.

You totally lived up to the challenge. I loved the dish. I'm going to try making it next time I pick up salmon. We grew up fishing for it as kids. I'm so thankful I can eat fish, but man shellfish kills me. It's scary. Salmon, haddock and halibut are my faves.
ReplyDeleteI cannot thank you enough for doing this for me. It was so nice to have you on the blog again.
