Yes I can probably do it; just thought someone may have had a good one.
I've had it in a few places and this restaurant definitely makes a good one. Maybe I can promote it off the chef.

There's a Chinese restaurant near me that makes a nice grand marnier shrimp that I'd like to try and duplicate. Does anyone have a good recipe for it? This restaurant has a light breading on the shrimp and the sauce is vibrant, not overly creamy and quite tasty.

I missed posting Monday night:
I sauteed some duck breasts, served them sliced over some greens. (I'm really trying to make a go of it with the greens.)
And I pureed some buttercup squash, and made up some mixed long grain/wild rice.
I designed the meal for speed (on the table in less than a half hour), but I thought it was pretty nice for a weeknight, actually eating with our two-year-old daughter instead of after her bedtime. But the wife's verdict was that nothing went with anything else. She still ate it all, though!
Edit: and no quinces.
Sounds like it goes together to me. Duck and squash are always nice.

Hey Soba

Saturday
a special concotion of ratatouille with chicken for my father who will not eat sausage
For everyone else:
Crab bisque with tiny shrimp
Sausage and peppers(recipe courtesy of alanz's family)
over mixed penne, farfalle and ziti(bottom of all the boxes)
Pillsbury Grand biscuits
Stouffers' creamed spinach souffle(no taste but nice fluffiness)
Very satisfying, filling dinner. No one could eat any dessert. They all said "noo"
except my father who could eat a truckful of food and keep going. Pretty good for a small Chinese guy.

Friday
Dungeness Crab in Ginger and Scallion sauce- used frozen crabs, fresh is better but these crabs were good.
and to supplement the crab:
Honeyed Chicken- Shredded chicken with a little honey sauce glaze, onions, ginger and garlic, all piled in the center surrounded by broccoli stir fried with garlic
Jasmine rice
Crazy Coconut Pie (out of The Everything Thai Cookbook). Quite tasty. One of the more interesting things about the recipe was how you just mixed up the batter - eggs, milk, flour, coconut - and it just naturally separates to make a crunchy top with the coconut on top, the custard in the middle and forms its own natural crust on the bottom. Definitely a simplifier when you're cooking other things which are more intricate. Very cool.
Cooking up the shells for stock...

Wednesday
Ginger Chicken Casserole- boneless chicken thighs chopped, floured and sauteed then mixed and slow cooked in casserole with ginger, basil, soy sauce, white wine, chicken broth, shallots, mushrooms, bean thread noodles

Stir Fried Yu Choy with Oyster Sauce
Also in process of making some mint chocolate chip walnut ice cream. Ready tomorrow...
Today just Christmas cookies for dessert

You could do a tapas brunch. It's good, hearty and full of variety, and so can appeal to many tastes. Food 911 just did one and it actually looked pretty good. But there are so many different kinds of tapas; you could even have steak and potatoes as part of your tapas selections.

shreds of chicken meat in a gingery chicken thickened clear sauce
One of my favorite comfort foods cooked with rice. Ginger is a lovely thing.

Now of course the Feast of the Immaculate Conception recognizes the fact that Mary was born without original sin. So of course the obvious way to celebrate that fact is to have a big meal and commit the sin of Gluttony(See Gluttony thread).

Monday
Pork, lop cheong and chive fried dumplings
Stir fry chicken breast with ginger, garlic, carrots, yu choy, straw mushrooms, and basil in a chicken broth based sauce.

Feast of the Immaculate Conception-have to make dumplings on a feast day.
Sounds to me more like a feast of immaculate consumption

What's the wait look like to get a reservation? I'm gonna call and make an attempt for a friend's birthday. We could be flexible for a lunch or dinner.
Places to park?
Good review Suzanne. Regards to HWOE

Suzanne did you make it to Amma?
Having some Celestial Seasonings Decaf Mint tea. Not adult but warming. Just came in from walking home from another eGulleteer's house. Really beautiful out albeit getting a trifle nippy in Jersey.
We had some lovely sausage and peppers that his wife made and I brought a cranberry apple pie and chocolate walnut gelato(exactly what we needed-more cold stuff).

Really wanted to go out and catch The Last Samurai tonight but blizzard intervened. Bad snow! Bad snow! Really wonder what Tom Cruise was able to learn in order to do his scenes credibly. He apparently does some double sword work in the movie that I'd like to see.
So staying in... Cooked some nice gambas al ajillo and sesame ginger scallops with toasted almond pilaf.
Hope to get out and cavort tomorrow sometime...
Playing with my sword and nunchuckus tonight

Exactly Elissa
It is the time and thought taken away from where the mind should otherwise be(on one's spiritual and moral development) and doesn't only apply to food. Gluttony is really applicable to many modern obsessions.
Lust at the same time as Gluttony=whipped cream in the right places(and a straighter shot to Hell).

Did you refrigerate the custard first for a few hours? That will allow it to freeze quicker without it forming ice crystals. Also, did you use enough sugar?
For as long as they said until it was frozen about an inch away from the sides-about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
The sugar about 3/4 cup to 1 1/4 cup of milk and 2/3 cup of heavy cream and 2 1/2 oz of chocolate bits and a few walnuts.

well the recipe calls for freezing the custard for an hour or two until its frozen about an inch away from the side of the pan. Then to take it out and mix in the chocolate bits and stir it up(At that point it's kind of part frozen part soupy). Then stick it back in and freeze until set.
so your not using a machine?
Nope no machine. I thought perhaps that might be a part of it.

And of course Middletown is infamous for being the place that I was born(dad was teaching at Wesleyan).
