Kevin says hello to Owen.
At the previous dinner Owen was 6 days
short of being born.

 

Melinda and Bill get ready for some
fun and some great food.

 
 
 
 
 

Terry and Stephanie get ready.

 

Kevin tells Stephanie and Kelsey
how to make the lobster sauce
for the ravioli

 
     
 
Melinda and Kelsey prepare
the lemon and oranges for the Cumberland Sauce
The outer part of the lemon skin is called the zest
and has to be carefully sliced off.
The white part or pith is bitter and not used.
Both the juice and the zest will be used.
 
     
The birds will meet the Cumberland Sauce
later in the evening.
 
Kevin shows Bill and Stephanie how thick to
slice the bacon for the salad
 
     
 
Bill slices the smoked bacon
The orange plastic template will be used
to make the ravioli which was our
appetizer
 
Stephanie sliced the unsmoked bacon
 
         
     
 
Owen gets rambunctious so
Grandmom comes to the rescue
 
Kevin shows the carmelized onions that Terry
has been cooking. These are for the salad
 
     
 
A basic spinach salad awaits a transformation
 

Kevin pours the red hot carmelized onions
which contain the bacon bits and bacon fat
on to the salad

 
     
 
Kevin mixes the various ingredients into the salad
and will also mix in Parmesan cheese
 
Kevin stirs and creates one of the
best salads we have ever tasted
 
 
 
 
Kevin serves the ravioli appetizer in a Lobster bisque sauce
to start the dining part of the evening.
Vive Le Chef. Vive La Chef
