The Moistmaker
As you may well know, one of my favorite all-time shows is Friends. In a classic episode, Ross goes berserk because someone ate his Thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich. He describes it as a turkey sandwich with a slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle, something he calls “The Moistmaker.” Well, for the past few years, I’ve been wanting to try this for myself. I kept forgetting to take some leftover turkey home with me the past few years, but this year I was able to finally give it a whirl. Since it’s that time of the year, I thought it appropriate to blog about it. I suggest you give it a whirl, because it was fantastic…
I’ve included the clip from Friends for your enjoyment…I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving…in one full month I’ll be a father. Holy crap.
P.S. If you subscribed to my blog but weren’t able to confirm, resulting in not getting notified when I post, I upgraded my blog software today, and it should have fixed it. Sorry about that!

I know I’ve hit ya’ll with a couple blogs already in the recent past, but I felt that this is “blog-worthy,” so I’m writing it anyways.
Every so often, a family friend, who also just happens to be an amazing chef, and owner of the Grand Meridian restaurant cooks us a multi-course meal that thus far has been nothing short of amazing. Exquisite even.
This weekend followed suit. Instead of doing it at his restaurant, we had him come to my parent’s house, and he brought along one of his chefs to assist in the cooking. Our theme was Cajun this time, and it delivered on every level. Rather than try and summarize here, I offer you a link to pictures of our night (see below), including a pic of each delicious course. We capped off another great “Friends Dinner” with a nice cigar and some drinks and socialization with friends.
It’s always a pleasure to have Ken over, and his chef, Sam, is as likable as person can be. Aside from being ninjas in the kitchen, they makes a mean dish o’ gumbo too! Can’t wait to see what Chef Ken has in store for us next!

P.S. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to my wonderful parents!
