HER: Bistro Aix, opens its doors for Sunday Brunch every year for Mother's day "only".
Today's service went really well. We had a steady crowd that kept us busy until 2pm. This was my second year working the busy sautee station for the event. I remember, last year my poached eggs were very acclaimed. I am still glad I payed attention to my egg class at Le cordon bleu...who knew 8 years later I would be poaching eggs to perfection to order while working a busy line. "My babies wrapped in their blankies", were so pretty. Eggs benedict, cheeseapeake, scrambled. Steak and shrimp, grits, crepes, french toast, shrimp and grits, were a few of our brunch dishes.
I brought a few mini muffins and crepes for the family to enjoy.
After my nap, decided to grill some steaks for dinner. I let them rest in butter and fresh thyme right after I pulled them out the grill, so that the juices could set and then cut them in thin bias, setting the meat over broiled garlic scented asparagus, (Sebastian was able to help with those). On top we drizzle some Béarnaise blue cheese Sauce. Opened a Moët & Chandon bottle for mimosas and Voila! We were ready to enjoy dinner. (He, of course, took plain O.J.)
We watch Bedtime stories while enjoying our Crêpes.
What a nice evening!
I am glad Sebastian is always excited at the dinner table, lucky to have a good tasting palate and is able to appreciate food.
