Well first off the restaurant is doing so well and as the Chef i spend allot of time there and the holidays also help make little Michael crazy. I also moved into my first new pad..... Ohhhh yes little Mike is all grown up and on his own. OK OK i'll be honest!!! i miss Betty (big time) but being in my own space is a lot of fun and i also started cooking at home allot more. Tonight i made a chicken breast stuffed with ham, provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, basil and parsley. I then covered it in fresh pancetta (that i got at the new butcher shop in Chelsea market) then i baked it in the oven for 30 min at 375!!! ohhh honey it was yum. Also the cheese and the chicken made a great broth that i thickened up and poured on top of the chicken. (can u say YUMMMM!!!) then i mad a simple fried eggplant. First i salted the eggplant and let it sit in a strainer for 30 min the put it in cold water for another 20. This helps get the bitter taste out of the eggplant. I then floured, egged and then bread crumbs. I spiked the bread crumbs with garlic and some provolone cheese. I then fried it in 1/2 olive oil and vegetable oil until its nice and crisp.I had some leftover marinara sauce on top of the eggplant and thats it!!! That my friends is one hell of a meal.
I have a great kitchen here at the new "Casa De Homo" so i hope your looking forward to new blogg"s, new kitchen and a bunch of new videos!!!! so heres to a new beginning !!!!
XOXOXOXOX
