Lobster!!!
Lobster!!! Best day in my culinary career to date! The girlie girl has left the building! If I could have done a cartwheel in the kitchen that day, I would have. I wanted to kill everyone’s lobster, which sounds really morbid but I don’t mean it that way. One of the things that made this week so much fun is that I got to teach Nick something. He missed the demo for prepping the lobster for the grill and to be boiled so I got to walk him through that. My level of confidence has risen which was cool to see. We also seared a scallop this week. I asked numerous times, “What am I looking for in regards to the perfect seared scallop?” Everyone kept saying “medium rare.” What in the hell does that mean???! Scallops are white. Medium rare is red. I was silently very frustrated. So I seared my scallop. I lifted it out of the pan and showed it to Chef Jack. He said it was perfect. Then I had an AH HA moment. I saw the two lines that signify medium rare. I finally got it! Victory! ...
