My Sous Chef's Favorites.

If you follow my ramblings over at Life Moves Pretty Fast, you have probably caught on to the fact that Chris will be leaving shortly for an extended period of time. This blog will spend the next 6-7 months chronicling my adventures in cooking for one.
I figure that I can't let him leave without sending him off with some of his favorite dinners.
Due to the hectic nature of the next two weeks there won't really be meal plans. However, at some point the following will be made just for my departing Sous Chef:

Steak
Chicken Cordon Bleu
Corned Beef and Cabbage
Double Musky Scampi
Mike's Tex-Mex 
(Hey, I said it all would be made, not that I would make it all.)

I can't think of anything else he would really want. His only request was the Corned Beef and Cabbage. I told him I would make it on the condition that he handled the cabbage this time.
Needless to say, I won't be working with any while he's gone.
I sure will miss his occasional help with dinner and his more than occasional breakfast cooking. I fear that his temporary replacement will be far less help around here.


After all, what am I to do with a Sous Chef who isn't allowed in the kitchen!?
