If Nathan Johnson looks sleepy in the photo below, it’s because I forced him to watch the state of the union address at the tail end of last night’s supper club.
The dinner itself was a success. Honey Glazed Walnut Shrimp was one of my favorite meals growing up in Hawaii. Katie mentioned that it was her favorite dish at Pablo Fredrick Chang’s, so I decided to make it last...

The Morrisons are particularly special to me, so I’m glad the beef Wellington turned out to be particularly kickass. My British friends would have been proud.
I used Jamie Oliver’s recipe for both the Wellington and the mac and cheese. Two insights from this meal:

I have embarked on an exciting experiment for the first four months of 2011. Every Tuesday evening between now and April, I will be inviting different friends over to my apartment for a meal that will be prepared exclusively by me.
Last night was my first meal, an excellent chicken chili recipe from Michael Chiarello (click on his name for the recipe).
I first experienced this chili in Texas,...

Saying it out loud changes things. I’ve been mulling this concept over for some time, and just seem to keep running into it. My paraphrase above is a condensate from various books, movies, mythologies, and especially conversations … I suppose really I’m experiencing the…
Thanks Nate. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
