A couple weeks ago, I had the privelege of going back home to fabulous ABQ over a five day weekend incurred by the event of an ACF culinary competion. So my culinary classes were cancelled for 3 days. Whilst at home, I had the opportunity to finally do some cooking with my friend Zach! We've cooked together before and made a splendid 7 (I think it was seven) course dinner for our families. Zach is totally fun. He shares the same passion and obsession for food that I have. My mom always laughs at us when we are together because we will literally spend ours just discussing food and bouncing ideas for new techniques and flavors off each other. Needless to say, this is somebody I would love to do business with in the future. Future restaurant partners, I say!
Anyway, while we were preparing our meal for my parents this time around, we shaped the beginnings of what may end up as an appetizer on our future menu. Voila! Bacon wrapped asparagus with a delicious (but secret combination - sorry!) sauce. :) My parents completely flipped over the sauce. My mom spooned more sauce on her plate after eating the asparagus and simply licked it off! If that doesn't tell you how good it is, I don't know what will.
There are still a few kinks to work out, but I think we have something here!
Zach, embracing his Asianness with a stereotypical pose...Haha, love this kid!
beautiful :)
