I am putting on my Pinky face and going after the pink peppercorn challenge this weekend. It has been a little bit slow but steady this month, trying a few dishes with the spice, but more importantly trying to find the just right summer meal that can handle this unique and powerful flavor.
Right now I am feeling a little like Pinky must have felt right before that demolition derby where she and Fonzie would show the world (and Richie, Ralph and Potsie) their stuff. Even Pinky must have been a little nervous. It was a big race, with Pinky pride on the line.
So like Pinky, I am going to go at this with confidence, and without a helmet.
It is starting to look like this:
Ribs with dry rub (including pink peppercorn)
Coleslaw, with apples, melon and pink peppercorn
Corn on the cob with pink peppercorn butter
Something green (without pink peppercorns)
Pink Peppercorn ice cream
"Hey Leather…what you got up your motorcycle jacket? "
WOW...pink peppercorn ice cream??! You never cease to amaze me Ms Megan!!!
ReplyDeleteI just went upstairs and put on my leather pants.
ReplyDeleteMenu sounds AWESOME! I think that pink peppercorn ice cream would win you the $10k on Chopped if you made it to the dessert round.
ReplyDeleteAnd nice reference to Pinky...:)
Oh, the good ole Happy Days!! I don't know if Marian cooked with pink peppercorns, but Arnold probably did at the restaurant. Isn't that what Cha Chi and Joanie had as their anniversary dinner? Or maybe that was the last meal before Fonzie jumped the shark? I don't remember. Maybe I should just go and "'Sit on it, Potsie!"
