Windsong Bar and Grill

[QF WP]

Was a delightful evening hosted by GPH. The wines were a fine accompaniment to the meal cooked by Chef GPH, showing off his culinary skills across many methods of cooking - chicken, lamb, pork and that sous vide 51d beef.

In anticipation of a return visit from Buzz ( and the delightful Ruby) . I have placed ( in a secure location) the (unopened) Bottle of St Hallets, to be consumed upon their return.

That's on record now.
If we promise to throw in some decent bubbly, can we share?

Absolutely, I'm thinking I may wait till the weather warms up a bit and do something outside under the Pavilion.
More space outside, my Wee House doesn't have a formal dining room. !!

I've just read the entire thread (ok, it's only 3 pages) to work out our fellow AFF'er GPH looks to be a sensational chef. Well done...I'm impressed.

Last night I cranked up the sous Vide again.
Mrs GPH likes Pork chops / cutlets / steaks etc, I'm not a fan, pork cuts (to me) tend to lack flavour and are often dry when cooked. They are however lean. So I popped two nice reasonably thick cutlets into a vacuum bag with a good covering of salt and pepper and a knob of butter. ( you can add your favorite herbs and spices as well, even a sliced Apple). I Sous Vide'd for 4 hours at 56.5 deg ( medium rare). Some simple steamed veg on the side. NO sauce ! Mrs GPH was very happy. The pork was tender, not dry and had nice colour. ( I finished them off by searing them in a HOT pan for about 70 seconds each side.

The leanest my pork belly gets is when I remove the salted, honey glazed crackling to carve the meat.

Well I was having a chin wag with QF WP the other day. It may take some organising.
I'm up to my ears in work stuff just now, and I need to coincide the evening with one of Mrs GPH's weekends at home (lol).

Pate ( home made of course) with toast triangles and cornichons
Fish course: fillet of sole Bon Femme. ( a classic , .....Robert carrier eat your heart out)
Main : Either a "joint " of beef or "Fillet de Boeuf en croute ( or beef Wellington to you)
Pudding: .... Keep it simple either a pans cotta or ... Mrs GPH's world famous hand made Gelato. . ? Followed by a cheese board and port to round the evening off

I'm beginning to see my way clear - all the big items for the new business are now finalised or well down the track and I now am pushing more to Mrs QF WP (like organising tradies, office furnishings and colour scheme etc).

Maybe I should have an AFF "opening" for the office as well as one for my clients
