Chef John at the Big Green Egg (grill)-- Leg of Lamb Extrodinaire!
John and I enjoying a glass of wine as the leg of lamb cooked on the grill. Beautiful day.. a treat where we live!
(There are two dachshunds in this picture.. can you spot them?)
Here is the recipe of the day... we had bananas foster years ago, before we were married.Click on the picture and it is big enough to read the recipe if you want to try!
Now that John travels to New Orleans for business a lot, he has sampled some great resturants and got this book from the library which has Brennan's recipe. The boys and I were going to make it for him as a gift, but as things got tricky we called him in... he is the master in the kitchen. More on that later...

John takes over with the Bananas Foster. It is like this giant pile of brown sugar, with some butter in the saucepan and you warm it... try to melt the sugar. It was not melting... I was worried.
(That was when we got John)
Then you pour on banana liquor and rum. He bought this giant bottle of banana liquore which we figure will last us at least 30 years. Ready to light the pan and FLAMBE'!
Oui!It is lit! Darn, the picture doesn't show the fire! He is sprinkling sugar and cinnamon in it and it sparkles! At the fancy resturants they do this at your tableside...

Happy Birthday John! And I see that infamous bird clock is still around. I have two now!

Thanks Leonie!
Yes, I finally started taking pictures.. lol
Karen.. yes that clock still freaks out people who haven't heard it before. lol
See my french doors behind Stephen?
That is our new 'second office'! Actually we need to decide what to call that room. It used to be the music room long ago, and the piano is still there. But now we have two offices.... humm.. any ideas? ;)
Ok, going nuts here. WHERE is the second dachshund??
HI Marie-
Click on the picture with John and me sitting, then look behind his chair and you will see Boomer's tail section... :)
