Val and Gerry had bet on the Super Bowl with Gerry being a long-time Steelers fan and Val a long-time Packers fan. The bet was which ever team won, the other person had to cook a requested dinner in the winning team's gear. Since the Packers pulled off the win, Gerry got to cook Val's requested dinner in her Green Bay jersey.
Val picked Samosas (which I made). Little half-moons of potato and pea filled pastry - what a way to kick off a dinner. We then had Indonesian Grilled Swordfish steaks, which were marinated for 8 hours before being grilled to perfection. We had grilled sweet onions, zucchini, yellow squash, green beans and flatbreads. Everything was grilled perfectly and delicious.
Val's pick for dessert was (wait for it) - Cheesecake. This was Gerry's first cheesecake and it was perfectly respectable.
It was a great afternoon and after all, a bet is a bet.
I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts and favorite food tidbits with everyone using this medium. I love exploring different techniques and ingredients from around the world.
It was an amazing dinner. Everything was delicious and the chef was a great sport about everything. I can't wait to have the swordfish again!
