A Funeral, a Memorial Service, a Confirmation and Tonights Birthday.

[Bill Schultz]

One H@ll of a week at my house this week. But now that everything was done it was time to celebrate #3's 23rd Birthday. He requested a cook and I think I did him right. Picked up a 40 day aged Shell Steak from our Butcher as it is his favorite meal. Also picked up two nice fresh Red Snapper's for me and the CEO along with some fresh from Alaska overnight Oysters at $.99 each. This is how I did it.

First up horrydervies Poppers stuffed with cream cheese, grated cheese, and a sliver of sharp cheddar and wrapped in Prosciutto

Steak with kosher and fresh ground coming to room temp

Dry Pack Scallops with salt and pepper and the CI with EVOO and butter ready to go

Snapper scored lightly and the seasoning mix. Cumin Oregano Kosher Cilantro Chili Powder and two Tbsp EVOO and worked into the fish and left to marinate for about an hour

Oysters opened up and on ice

Sorry to hear of your rough week Bill. Great looking Son you have there. That meal looks fabulous! What a surf & turf spectacular!

Bill,
Your kids are lucky to have a dad who takes requests for their birthday meals. The steak looks nicely aged, and the seafood extravaganza looks super fresh. Tough to beat a dinner like that.

 

[Daniel Maxton]

Looks like Killian's Red?
My son loves that beer, too.

Yea, Jon Shop Rite out here in North Branch has been doing $.99 apiece Oysters from all over for about a month. Good stuff, I keep an eye and get them when they first come in.
