... my horseradish dishes were FABULOUS. What a fun night. We started off with a raw oyster with a little prepared horseradish on top, just to get things going. And then on to the challenge items. The first, my tower of salt crusted beets with horseradish cream. It was super pretty. When the cream sat for just a few minutes it turned bright pink. I wasn't expecting that but my judges thought it looked beautiful.
Oysters turned out great too. Very tasty, good horseradish kick. I kept adding more horseradish to the parmesan and butter as the last time I made this dish it just didn't have the kick that I was looking for. Along side the oysters were fries, potato and sweet potato. Drizzled those with horseradish infused vinegar. Could have just used vinegar. But they were great.And so the judges. Well here is Mike, my guest judge. He looks very happy doesn't he. And to quote his 10 year old son, Walt, "pretty good for beets".
My husband John and nine year old daughter Kellan also judged. And this is how it turned out.
John 17 points
Kellan 15 points
Mike 17 points
That really puts the pressure on for February now doesn't it? And that leads me to the most important question...what will February bring?????
