I have to kill it first... WHAT?



Oh! Clams! I was worried - all I knew was that whatever we were going to have this Saturday Night Special was going to be a "fresh kill" compliments of the Chef (Bob, that is). The asparagus was delicious! As usual, a perfect presentation and delightful mix of flavor, texture and color. How fun it is!

What a gift - I hope Eric will learn how to cook, too.

Valentine

Eric and I were invited to Chez Bob's for the absolutely most delicious eggplant dish! We had breadsticks with a homemade olive oil and vinegar sauce, an Italian wine (can't remember the name!), and an Italian chocolate bar for desert. Bob wrote a beautiful card, as usual, and gave me a CD from the soundtrack of the movie JUNO, which we had all seen a few weeks ago.

African Night

Tonight was African night at Chez Bob's. Bob played Geoffrey Oriama (sp?) music while we ate an African inspired stew of rice, edaname, sweet potato, spinach, onions and other ingredients (a secret). Bob is a closet professional chef - he spends many hours reading recipes, finding ingredients and preparing interesting food for Gayle and Eric. The table is set for 3, each with a name tag, beautiful presentation, usually 3-4 courses, plus wine. It's always a real treat to eat at Chez Bob's.
