We got back to the Cities for our last dinner with the kids, but schedules were hectic, and the girls got fed an put to bed before Shayne got home with a dinner plan. He always has an interesting "dinner plan". Tonight he decided to give Mitch the a rendition of the Chopped competition. He had purchased the mystery ingredients and Mitch had 30 minutes to cook a dinner for four. Shayne, Sarah, and I critiqued, ridiculed, commented, and drank wine while he cooked with fresh wahoo, dates, napa cabbage, and basmati rice.
Hands up at three seconds left and he had plated his four meals.
Our dinner consisted of a napa cabbage salad with spicy peanut sauce (topped with apple jelly for color--one of Sarah's complaints) served with a bed of basmati rice cooked with chopped dates, soy sauce, and worchestershire sauce, and topped with grilled wahoo with an Asian glaze.
It was a lot of fun and it tasted really good!
Next time Sarah and I do the shopping and Shayne is in on the competition.
