DROOLING

saturday we ended up goin to the fairview. it was a nice down to earth crowd with some great live blues. we were chokin in the over crowded smoking room and i was listening to the other conversations goin on around me.

there was a guy in the corner chatting (quite passionately) 'bout his work. he was a sous chef somewhere. he was describing some of his creations and bantering with the guys around him. they were tossing ideas back and forth, each trying to outdo the last. finally the blond guy hushes the rest with this:

seared scallops surrounded by caramelized peaches topped with spinach (i'm sure there was something special 'bout the spinach but i can't recall right now) and then covered with strips of foie gras and something 'bout a brandy sauce.

now i'm not crazy 'bout all the ingredients, (i made horrendous faces the last time i tried to swallow foie gras) but the guy was just so passionate 'bout it that i found myself a wee bit turned on. i kept making eyes at him the rest of the night but i'm sure it was hard to tell if i was makin eyes or merely just trying to keep the smoke out of 'em. laugh if u will, i've decided that i gots to find me a sous chef to date!
