I wrote this haiku and can think of no better place than to host it than this fine culinary blog. Here is a haiku about one of my favorite foods in the world, and one which I can’t live without.
Sharp against my tongue /
A soft creamy subtlety /
Great world of cheeses
-Haiku by Justin Germino
Emeril Lagasse is trying his hand at the talk show format as he launches a new weekly prime-time series that will mix equal parts music, celebrities and food.
Like Lagasse’s long-running Food Network series, “Emeril Live!”, his new hour-long “The Emeril Lagasse Show” on the ION Television network will be taped before a live audience and feature a band on set.
The Food Network ceased production of “Emeril Live” in 2007. In early 2008, the rights to Lagasse’s franchise of books, television shows and kitchen products were purchased by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., which will share production oversight of the new show with ION Television.
Lagasse continues to host “Emeril Green,” a Planet Green cable series in which he helps novice cooks prepare wholesome meals. “The Emeril Lagasse Show” will air Sundays at 8 p.m. beginning March 28.
So this year I decided to have a small holiday party to flex my culinary muscle and cook for the people I work with. I am excited, it is a bit of work, but not too much as long as you mise en place. Below is my menu:
Pear Martini, Santa’s Red Hat & Wine Selections
Almond Crusted Gouda Delights
Gouda Cheese crusted with Almonds
Basil Tortellini
Tortellini in a light tomato, basil sauce
Pesto Scallops
Scallops in an herb pesto sauce
Beef & Chicken Skewers
Beef & Chicken skewers in a ginger apricot glaze
Endive Wedges
Tender endive wedges with a sweet dressing, topped with Bleu cheese
Holiday Chocolate Truffles

I will be having a soloist also at the house to play the smooth sounds fo Christmas! It is shaping up to be a great party! I will report back with pictures of the food and how it all went! Wish me luck.
So I know, what kind of Chef am I that I just now saw the movie Julie & Julia? I have been meaning to, really! Just been busy as you can all see….
So I saw the movie and I liked it. I liked the fact it highlighted French cookery and they mentioned the Le Cordon Bleu, which is also the program that I completed as well. That was a major plus. The film depicts events in the life of chef Julia Child in the early years in her culinary career, contrasting her life with Julie Powell, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes from Child’s cookbook during a single year. This is a good idea, why I did not think of that I will never know LOL. The thing I did not like about the movie was the actress who played Julie, Amy Adams. She is just too mousy for my tastes.
The movie was entertaining, so I will probably buy it at some point. Meryl Streep was just fantastic, she had that role down to a science proving once again that she is a great actress!
Hard to believe that a woman, Julie Powell got so famous as a blogger/writer from that stunt is just amazing. Some of us who run these blogs work very hard to produce content and promote our blogs. Julie Powell’s blog was nothing more than words against a white background, so very plain. But! This was when blogging was still in the early stages.
So Its a good movie, so if you like to cook, watch it!
In the dark I shall fall
By the light of only the moon I am
Alone with only the fear who dare to make me shake
Something awaits me around the next shadow
For here I am in the dark.
Think eggs, think nightmares.
