Fun with Sage

WHAT UP! 

I'm blurry cause I'm dancing.

This entry is on our last dinner at my place which was somewhere around two weeks ago.

Why? Because:

1.       It’s my turn

2.       Nubs and I are on a budget which means we (we as in Lance) will be cooking more

3.       Homemade = cheap

4.       NUBS CAN COOK.

Here we go…

Ingredients for a fantastic dinner with amazing friends

·         ½ cup Lance Larson

·         ¾ table spoon Laura Lee

·         A bunch of sage

·         1 iPhone full of 90’s dance music

·         High Ten

1^st step: Call Laura randomly and freak out about an awesome idea about dinner. Let it marinate for couple weeks, do some tweaking where needed.

2^nd step: Don’t forget the pork chops

3^rd step: Dance in the tiny kitchen with filo dough and boil simple sugar (do not stir! The candy will crystalize!)

4^th step: SHOTS!

Viola! Dinner is severed…

Starting with fantastic chicken pepper sage mixture wrapped in filo served with a savory butter sauce.

I want more now. Please.

Main course: Extremely tender and juicy grilled pork chops. Sorry mom, these are the best pork chops I have ever eaten. Fried gnocchi. No scales or measuring cups were used in the making of these perfect little potato pillows. I know, I am an eye witness. And swiss chard. Thank you, Lance for allowing me to try swiss chard. I never thought leafy greens would be so good. So, so good.

Gnocchi. So fun. Gnocchi.

What survived the horrific front porch/attempted runaway dog incident was still a light, creative and delicious dessert. Honey infused vanilla ice cream with a fun candied sage on top.

Thank you for an amazing dinner Lance. I was so happy to have some of my closest friends over to enjoy a great meal.
