Happy Anniversary Happy Happy Anniversary
It’s pretty unbelievable how fast a year can go by, and that’s what we’re celebrating. It was 1 year ago on September 3, 2009 that the Foodies officially launched the Four Foodies. We’ve eaten very well over the past 12 months, and it’s been a pleasure sharing and trying some new recipes, flavors, and memories with you. Our favorite thing about the blog has been hearing from you. Your feedback and comments are what keep us going, and we try our best to reply to your questions & comments.
Another thing that we’d like to say- we sincerely apologize for having been negligent over the past month. It’s been a very busy summer between seeing friends and family, and needless to say we’ve dropped the spatula. I’ve been fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and training for the Women’s Nike ½ Marathon in San Francisco. Ben has recently moved into a new studio space that will put us in close proximity to our favorite farmer’s market, so we’ll have inspiration of the local farmers to keep us cranking out new posts. We also went on a long overdue and well deserved trip to Europe. Our souvenirs that we brought back were the few pounds that we gained while dining on the anything and everything that sounded good, looked good, and smelled good. Rest assured we’ll be serving up a new recipe inspired by the Dutch, and no, there’s nothing freaky deaky about it.
So, to mark our anniversary, we are repeating the dinner that we had the night we kicked off the Four Foodies. My first go at this dish was a few years ago. Ben was skeptical- with good reason. It was another one of those odd cravings- “I want it, yet I’ve never had it.” We’ve served it many times since marking other special occasions- the first 2008 Presidential debates, my older brother Scott’s visit to KC, my sister & husband’s visit this past March when she gave me the big news that they were preggers, and of course the launch and now anniversary of the Four Foodies. It’s fun. It’s festivus. It’s Jambalaya
Mid-Century Modern Shrimp
So our good friends, Chris & Adam opened their mid-century modern home to us to do a little cooking for them, their friends and our new friends Scott & Travis, and ourselves. I have to give a little back story- Mark and Jane actually considered buying Chris & Adam’s house before they bought it, so needless to say it was a fun experience cooking in what could’ve been their kitchen. Walking in you can’t help but notice impeccable décor, the chairs that Mark wanted to walk out with, the 1000 cubic foot refrigerator-freezer set up, and the 5 burner gas cook top that is every foodies’ dream. Adam & Chris’s home is a place designed for entertaining, and it was the perfect venue to share one of our favorite appetizers with friends of new and old.
