Ole!

Text message from Bob to Gayle and Eric:
Ole! Chez Bob manana.. Green chili relleno casserole with chef's special refried beans. Hasta!
April 4 2008

We listened to an old CD - I think it was Linda Ronstadt singing in Spanish. Good good, good wine - as usual, I had to have TWO servings because it was so delicious! The casserole was unusual, delicious, and topped with sour cream.
For desert, we had "mole'" some sort of chili and chocolate sauce we used to dip fresh strawberries, topped with REAL fattening whipping cream - YUMMY!
Bob put mushrooms in the refried beans - good idea! I think he missed his true calling.

Nice warm tortillas and a toast to Saturday Family Night at Chez Bobs once again - a big success!

My mother sent Bob a gift: Dinner at Antoinnes, signed by the chef in New Orleans!

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.

Dinner at Chez Bob's

Text message from Bob:
"Chez Bob 2nite: Ove roasted wild sockeye slamon with spicy cucumber relish. Pan roasted asparagus with red peppers and goat cheese. Chocolate truffle coffee & more. Bon appetite.

Guests: Eric, Gayle (with name tags, of course!)

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.
