Need some advise. i have a chef tasting coming up to determine my promotion. Help on how to wow...?

rules


1 red meat


1 chicken


1 fishNeed some advise. i have a chef tasting coming up to determine my promotion. Help on how to wow...?
Four courses but only 3 meats? Can you combine any of them for the fourth course? I need specifics.





For red meat, I used to make a killer curried ribeye at the restaurant. That was easy and quick. Or you could do a balsmic reduction with portobello mushrooms. Or even a peppercorn cream sauce.





For chicken, I'd pound them out and stuff them with lasagna stuffing and spinach and basil. Serve with a cream sauce (with baby shrimp if you can combine them.) And slice into pinwheels.





For seafood, I've done a seafood stuffed sole with white sauce, or Cajun seared sea scallops with a brandy-cream sauce.





If you need a salad, do a wilted spinach salad with bacon vinaigrette and those seared scallops. The flavors are incredible.





Email me if you want and I can try to think of other stuff I used to make at the restaurant.Need some advise. i have a chef tasting coming up to determine my promotion. Help on how to wow...?
I'm not sure if you have to use meats they provide or if you will be shopping for your own, but my advice is to start with the best quality meats you can afford. That is the basis for a delicious dish. Good luck.
Red meat:





Seared Veal Cutlet with Papaya Salsa and timbale of jasmine rice, with frise' of cilatro, and Maui Onion.





Chicken:





Seared Chicken Cutlet with Papaya Salsa and timbale of jasmine rice, with frise' of cilatro, and Maui Onion.





Fish:








Seared Fish Cutlet with Papaya Salsa and timbale of jasmine rice, with frise' of cilatro, and Maui Onion.





Remember salt to taste!
simplicity is the rule. you want each dish to taste perfect, so avoid strong spices. for example, the red meat should taste like beef if it is beef, pork if it is pork.





Imho, chicken and fish are pretty neutral tasting so, i would consider strong spices there, but not enough to overpower the actual meat. the idea is to enhance the meat's flavor.





also, the dishes should be as delicious visually as they are tasting. I love indian spices for the colors they impart.





look at ikibana for ideas on presentation. ikibana is japanese flower arrangement, and it will give you some great ideas on food presentation.
This is a great site with a lot of great recipes.

i don't understand the question. could you give us more specifics?
red meat with a clear red wine sauce. pureed sweet potatoe, apple couscous.





chicken honey mustard style, (breaded), creamed spinich, julienne carrots with tom-basil mrs. dash





fish: salmon with creamy butter sauce (bit of finely chop parsley in it), fresh steamed asparagus, and heriloom tomato.





4th course: vegi





tempura batter with asian eggplant, potatos, creamed corn, spag squash with panchetta, and whatever else you like
Well I think red meat should always be grilled and medium rare.


If its beef grill and top with a compound butter or bleu cheese.


If its pork or duck grill until medium and top with a fresh orange glaze.





Chicken is really good when baked. Marinate with some minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper and white wine. When chicken is done, remove from pan, heat juices to a boil to reduce and a little butter for a glaze and pour over chicken





Fish: sear the fish in a little olive oil, remove after four minutes (two on each side). In the same pan add more olive oil and saute minced garlic, basil and crushed red tomatoes salt and pepper. Add fish to warm through and plate.

    which route should i take? what is the distance?how is the road for driving by car?what is the time i will take for the journey? i will be grateful for a honest answerPlease advise route fm Bangalore to Kodaikanal?
    Click on the link below. It gives you the best possible route. The NH-47 is a bit bad these days, so expect some bumps there, else it is smooth.





    The distance is slightly over 400 km, so plan for a 10 hour relaxed drive.





    PS: The link might take some time to open depending on your connection speed. Please be patient, it would be very helpful. Zoom in for seeing each sector details.Please advise route fm Bangalore to Kodaikanal?
    the distance from bangalore to kodai is not long.if u plan to go by road it will take you about 5-6 hrs.the road is pretty good,smooth and safe as well.


    last year i myself went to kodai by road.the journey is pretty good if u carry cushion or pillows and block the sun from the windows.


    i advise leaving early in the morning at about 7 am, stop for breakfast at reliance petrol pump or any road side restaurant and this way u can actually reach kodai by 1 pm.once u enter the hills it is damn pleasant.this way u can avoid the traffic rush as well as intense heat at mid noon plus u can get to see a little of kodai on the very same day.
    there is a train which goes from bangalore to the station kodai road, from where the actual hilstation is at a driving distance of 2 hrs.

    Need advise about a kidney stone?

    I had a large kidney stone that they did that procedure on that they put you out and blast it out..I had it done 7 months ago and that spot still is sore/hurts..not to be gross but before that procedure i had constant bladder/kidney infections and alot of blood..Now I have no blood but still have the pain..I have no medical insurance..I told them 2 months after it still hurt and all i got was it takes time to heal..i know that but 7 months? Is this normal?Need advise about a kidney stone?
    Well, first of all Slosh ole buddy, you have my most profound sympathy!!!! I've suffered nearly all my adult life from those lil buggars!!!! Felt like the last one was the size of a 1958 Buick (with a trailer hitch)! I've been through lithotripsy twice, the others passed.





    1. It could be that it does take a looooong time to heal!.


    2. It could be scar tissue.


    3. Perhaps they didn't get all of the stone. (I know, it's highly unlikely).


    4. It might cost you money, but I think I'd get a second opinion from another urologist. Seven months with pain IMHO is not normal.





    In the meantime, drink lotsa water...pee often! (As if you haven't heard that advice before.)Need advise about a kidney stone?
    Hey SLosh





    Here are a few ideas to start cleaning out the toxins in the blood for stones. You need to do a colon and kidney cleanse to remove the toxins out of the body. A good program is on herbdoc.com. As mentioned below drink a lot of water. I drink around a gallon a day.





    Cause


    Kidney stones are more common during the summer, possibly due to concentrated urine caused by increased sweating and insufficient fluid intake. In general, mild chronic dehydration can play a role in the development of kidney stones. Chronic stress can also play a role.





    Kidney stones that are high in calcium may be a signal of hyperparathyroidism (excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone). In serious cases of kidney stones an ultrasound that fractionalizes and breaks down the stones may be advised. See your medical doctor for more information about this.


    ------------------------------...





    Natural Cures





    Aromatherapy: Hyssop and juniper essential oils can be helpful.





    Ayurveda: Cumin, coriander, and fennel tea. Drink one cup three times a day.





    Diet: Diet alone cannot get rid of the stones. Higher-than-normal levels of oxalate related to a diet high in oxalic containing foods, such as rhubarb, spinach, leafy vegetables, and coffee, can promote kidney stone formation. High levels of dietary refined carbohydrates can also cause kidney stones. Sugar stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, causing increased calcium excretion through the urine. Other dietary factors that cause increased calcium excretion in the urine and promote stone formation are increased intakes of coffee, colas, acid-forming diets (such as high protein and grains), insufficient water intake, and excessive salt consumption. Soft drinks containing phosphoric acid can also encourage the formation of kidney stones and should be completely eliminated.





    The most important dietary actions are to increase your intake of pure filtered water, fiber, and green vegetables, and reduce refined sugar consumption. Foods that are helpful in decreasing kidney stone formation include cranberries, black cherries, rice bran, kombucha tea. In addition to avoiding sugar, also avoid or reduce your intake of salt, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates, nuts, chocolate, pepper, and animal proteins.





    Herbs: Combine the tinctures of gravel root, cornsilk, wild yam, and blackhaw in equal parts and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Or drink one cup of an infusion of nettle three times a day. Other useful herbs include uva ursi, horsetail, and dandelion root.





    Homeopathy: Berberis, and Sarsaparilla are both useful homeopathic remedies.








    Juice Therapy: The following juices can help stimulate the overall health of the urinary tract and potentially flush out the stones: lemon juice; carrot, beet, and cucumber juice with a dash of garlic and/or horseradish; and/or cranberry and watermelon juice.





    Nutritional Supplementation: Helpful nutrients include: magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C (keep your total daily intake below 6 grams to avoid increasing oxalate formation), vitamin A, proteolytic enzymes (away from meals), raw kidney glandulars, fat-soluble chlorophyll, lipoic acid, and the amino acids glutamic acid, lysine, and methionine.





    Alternative Professional Care


    If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating kidney stones: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ultrasound.








    Best of health to you

    Pls advise difference between cartoon and animation?

    The word cartoon used to refer to comic strips but because of the stylistic similarities between comic strips and early animated movies, ';cartoon'; came to refer to animation, and this is the sense in which ';cartoon'; is most commonly used today. Nowadays, the word cartoon and animation refer to the same thing: an animated piece of film. However, the word cartoon is considered by many as a derogatory term that connotes the association of the medium with solely children's entertainment whereas animation is more precise as a term since it refers to the medium in general that can have many genres. If you want to find out more you could check Wikipedia with the key words ';cartoon';, ';animation'; and ';animation cartoon';. Hope this helps!Pls advise difference between cartoon and animation?
    there really is none other than the fact that a cartoon is printed type usually and animation is well animated which means it has to move or change (tv)Pls advise difference between cartoon and animation?

    Im thinking about a hair trasnplant , im 30 and half bald,does anyone have an advise?

    kindof odd that u would loose your hair so early but i wouldn't get the transplant.Im thinking about a hair trasnplant , im 30 and half bald,does anyone have an advise?
    I like natural baldness.


    I think it's sexy. ;-)


    We can see your eyes.Im thinking about a hair trasnplant , im 30 and half bald,does anyone have an advise?
    Go for it! While you loved ones will stil love you regardless of your hair or lack there of, you will feel much better about yourself. When you feel attractive you will be confident in all areas of your life.
    To me , being bald has its own dignified look. Hair transplant has too many problems to maintain, so it better to remain bald
    Don't do it. Go bald.
    Look at your bank balance and veture out, if okay
    You're looking at some uncomfortable procedures being performed on your scalp. I takes a while to heal, and is not always successful. Even the best surgon cannot guarantee success. The result usually always shows as having been a transplant. Vanity knows no master! Only you can determine if it is worth the discomfort and the knowing glances of those who smirk when they determine that your hairline is artificial. todays, fashion fad, is the kojak bald trip, that is used by those with impared hair problems. I am fortunate, that unless I have to undergo ';cemo-';, I have to spend a lot of money to cultivate the shock of hair I have piled upon my head. I wish I didn't have to spend $20.00 every two weeks to trim what grows wild so quickly. Being frank, though, I never liked the ';bald is beautiful'; look especially, with the current ';goatee'; on the chin look that is rampant in my area.


    Hey! it's your scalp, if that's what you think will improve your appearance, go for it. just remimber, each plug is a plug!
    No forget it. Be proud of you and who you are not what people think you should be.





    Most women don't care about it, they're more interested in your personality and perhaps your build, so work on those instead.





    Perhaps look at how you dress too. If you are baldy and dress like a slob it looks woeful, but if you wear a clean, neat outfit and learn to converse, noone will notice your hair (or lack thereof).
    if u think that u will bee lookin handsome after the implant and it would be to u a bearable expense then u can go for it
    dude, just shave it all off, forget the transplant. think of all the ladies that will want to rub your head....
    Dont dooooooo itttttttt. =]


    like ur hair how it is
    go to a good Doc..................get the individual transplants.the plugs look funny...........
    save ur money, go to a fancy dress shop and buy a wig then glue it on or nail it on
    Just shave you head bald. It's a whole lot cheaper %26amp; healthier too.


    Girls love bald heads these days!!!Take the plunge!!! If you don't like the idea of shaving your head,just get the shortest haircut possible. You don't need a hair transplant


    to be handsome.
    you say your ';half bald';. is the bald half on the left side or the right?
    being bald is cool... You dont have to style your hair in the morning.


    consider yourself lucky.

    You have randomly been selected for a great cash payout.....

















    I suggest you immediately take it otherwise it may not be available.






































    I suggest you give the emailer your bank details, house keys, car keys and any children you may have, if you dont have any children borrow some.





    or just delete the email, which is probably best
    HO I WON A MILLION BUCKS they want My bank details so that they can transfer the MILLION into my bank account.

    it is a con e-mail delete it there is a lot going round they want your bank details so that they can steal you ID and use it for other means draw money from your account

    NEVER NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL OR BANK DETAILS TO ANY ONE over the internet





    It is called PHISHING........ not Spam


    Phishing is they want your personal details


    Spam is ADVERTISING, SELLING
    It is a well know con, delete it and dont reply at all.

    It is a scam they will ask YOU for money


    believe me!
    The best thing to do is to report it to Yahoo and then delete it. Never reply to anything that tells you you have won money - or anything else for that matter - as soon as you reply then you are on their spamming list for good. Also, never click on links in e-mails you are not 100% sure about who you got it from, whether you can trust them, and what the link is. Same thing goes for downloading attachments.


    If you identify an email from its subject alone as being spam, a scam, or other unwanted mail, DON'T EVEN OPEN IT - if it is an HTML email, they could embed some nasty stuff in there, and you could get a virus from just looking at the email.
    Lottery Scam, ignore it.





    Everyone reading this question remember that contactmrdavidkumar@yahoo.dk is a scammer and all e-mails you receive from this person is an 419 scam attempt.





    Thanks for posting this. Luckily everyone now knows that David Kumar and William Moris are scammers (probably the same person, only different aliases)
    Delete it ASAP
    its called SPAM
