Darlings, what does ONE DO when a bear wants to cook in your kitchen?!Let him.
He's a bear and he can do what he damn well pleases!
Such was the situation La Diva found herself in yesterday when I was coughing furiously and could not get up from the couch after 10 frantic and long days of work! It's a shame too as La Diva had been SOOO LOOKING FORWARD to cooking dinner tonight as it would be a rare treat: A nice juicy NY strip steak! Troll laid down a culinary throw down a few weeks back for Steak and Potatoes and Diva was up for the challenge.
But, I can't stop coughing! And I had to STOP RUNNING AND DOING otherwise I'll never get better. So, Diva was laying on the couch when an offer to cook dinner came from my sidekick and personal deejay, DJ Nevah L8 (4 dinnah!)
He's a big fella and quite the sight cooking in my small kitchen. His nickname of Bear comes from his bear-like qualities: He loves honey and is a big and furry man but loving and gentle. And, in true bear-like fashion, Nevah L8 is ALWAYS SNIFFIN' about and looking for some good food to eat!! (and getting into trouble!)
Nevah L8 sniffin' and waitin' for some of La Diva's fine cooking!So, darlings, today I'm turning over my kitchen AND BLOG to my dear sidekick, Nevah L8 to compete in Troll's Culinary Throwdown: Steak and Potatoes! (Diva will have to make her steak dish another time.....)
DJ Nevah L8 (4 dinnah) enters: NY strip crusted in sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, seared and rested. (La Diva's steak was cooked to medium rare perfection!) served with parmesan cheese mashed potatoes, sauteed shitake mushrooms and steamed asparagus!La Diva would have liked a better shot and perhaps one of the cut steak to see how well cooked it was, but we were hungry and it's not nice to a keep a bear from the hot food he just cooked to take photos. Ticks him right off.
So good, I had to show it again! La Diva made this Birthday dinner for DJ Nevah L8 back in June: Filet mignon with home-made bearnaise sauce with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach and leeks. YUM!Want to see what everyone else made in the culinary throw down? Click here!

We would get along just great chica! Our favorite dinner is romaine lettuce with blue cheese dressing (my recipe is fabulous!), bacon and tomatoes, grilled porterhouses rubbed with olive oil, sea salt and cracked pepper(mine is just as big as his), homemade bernaise, creamed spinach and potatoes au gratin. Tons of wine for me...vodka and fresca for him and a great sunset. Sex first cuz after all that...there's not a lot of moving going on. Just blissful rocking in the hammock!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. He's working alot of nights this week, so I'm actually abstaining from wine...I did eat a cheese plate last night though.
I wrestled a (muzzled) bear once. Won't be repeating that experience willingly. Great looking food (both of them). Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteGet some rest!
Mmmmmm . . . Moi Points for sure!
ReplyDelete1. Beef crusted with sea salt and pepper.
2. Inclusion of sauteed mushrooms, which is always an el perfecto addition to a meat dish.
This is going to be tough!
Now that's what i'm talking about. Classic steak, potatoes and asparagus. That has to be one of my favorite meals. Is tha carmelized onion bits on the steak or is that the sea salt? Moi will have her work cut out.
ReplyDeleteLike the dish.
Dahlink! Come on by Moi's Bite the Apple Blob - I've announced the winner!
ReplyDeleteFor a minute here I thought you were cooking bear.
ReplyDeleteAlways love a good meaty meal. Good job DJ Nevah.
