Dinner Time!
I’ll never eat mac & cheese again. I don’t know how I’ll ever go back to eating plain old food after the two mind blowing meals that I’ve had this week. So here’s the low down.
A friend from work who is originally from France graduated from college with his Masters degree (yes he really IS a rocket scientist) this week and invited some of us over to his house on Wednesday for a fish fry and fun. So this guy and and his Dad, who flew in from France for the graduation, and some others went deep sea fishing and each one caught a three foot King fish!
But that’s just the start of the story, His Dads real job is as a chef for a five star restaurant in Monaco! His Dad created for us a five course meal of king fish and fresh shrimp, which included a form of Sashimi with a fantastic sauce, a version of fried shrimp that should make Red Lobster hang it’s head in shame, Shrimp Kabob’s, A main course of baked King fish and potatoes drizzled with olive oil and salt, and cake for dessert! I have never had fish melt in mouth like that before. It was absolutely amazing!
Round two was on Friday when I drove to Miami to meet my Brother and Sis-in-law who were just getting off of a cruise ship. They didn’t have to fly back to Michigan until Saturday, so it was a great chance to meet up for dinner. Before I got there in the evening they had already scoped out an Italian place called Randazzo’s in Coral Gables, FL. If you’re going to eat there, I suggest that you don’t eat anything for at least two days before you go, because their portions aren’t just generous, they’re insane! I chose their Fettuccine Alfredo Losorda without any shrimp or chicken and I couldn’t even eat half of it. My family was having similar trouble finishing their meals. However, each dish was incredible.
So, next weeks blog should probably be about my new weight loss program, cause I’m going to need it if I keep getting fed like that!
Stay tuned for more SG4JC adventures!
