Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
As some of you may know, this past weekend we were evicted out of our home by the exterminator, who’s job was to get rid of all the nasty creepy crawly critters in our rental house – mainly termites.
Tom and I had no choice but to pack humans and four legged friends and take off, and since we did not get to enjoy the long memorial weekend, what better place than to wait out our eviction but in a beach cottage?
When I received the invitation to participate in the Progressive Party that Kitchen Play is hosting I jumped at the change. Who would not? It’s pretty simple; six bloggers take to the stage with a challenge of incorporating a sponsor product into a blog post. Each of us is assigned a course, and we are all given the green light to experiment and create a recipe that will showcase the host product and/or kitchen tool.
Our progressive party is being sponsored by ZESPRI® Kiwifruit. ZESPRI international is the world largest marketer of Kiwifruit, selling this fruit into more than 60 countries. When I read about what this company stands for, I was excited to work along side them to showcase their product. Who would not want to align themselves to a corporation that strives to use the best practices in all of their processes in order to become a sustainable business and a market leader in the industry? You can read more about their vision and history here.
My assigned course was to incorporate this superfruit into an Amuse Bouche.
This dish has been on the making since Friday night.
I bought the shrimps on my way home from work, with every intention of making it for Friday night dinner.
Tom was totally excited, since he has been craving shrimp for a bit now.
I got lazy on Friday night and totally talked my way of not doing it. Instead, I convince him to have dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, in honor of celebrating his first day at his new job (he has been looking for a job for the past 4 months - so it was a celebration!). And promise him that we were going to have it for lunch on Saturday.
