I am friends with a group of amazing chefs, and yet, after 4 months of running around together, we haven’t really cooked much together outside of work. Perhaps it’s because we have all fallen into a rut. We go to work and do the same thing day in and day out. I’m grateful to be gainfully employed, don’t get me wrong. However, we definitely do feel a lack of inspiration on most days and an outlet to plug in that creativity.
So, after a late night snack that Asian Al made for us, Mlle Vino and I decided that we should have a feast. And feast we did!
Mlle Vino, Asian Al and I ran to the Asian market and then to BevMo. We returned and our good friend and fellow chef, Guy, was waiting for us with an extra two bottles of wine.
This is the beginning of a mushroom soup.
Some of our treasures from the Asian market and the mixer and robo coup Asian Al borrowed from his mom for me to use.
Asian Al did most of the cooking. Guy and another of our friends, Big Bear, helped prep food, but it was mostly AA. What did we do while he cooked? Well, I took a ton of pics and Mlle Vino, Guy and I sat on the patio drinking wine.
(It’s not blurry, it’s artistic. Ha ha)

Sake anyone?
