THIS WEEKEND A FEW OF MY FRIENDS WERE NICE ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO USE THEIR HOUSE AS A TEST KITCHEN. THEY WERE ALSO GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THE RECIPES AND TAKE US TO THE LOCAL STREET MARKET. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE COST ABOUT $40 AND WE HAD A BLAST experimenting.
THESE ARE JUST SOME PHOTOS from THE WEEKEND as well as an IDEA OF WHAT WE WILL BE SERVING FROM THE TRUCK
THE ORIGINAL MENU WE SET OUT TO CREATE
HAD TO GET A PICTURE OF THE WHOLE GANG
We used a self timer and all grabbed something for the shot. I opted for the knife and obviously none of us were ready
The grilled 'bellos don't look like much yet
Wait for it....
Now there's a Grilled portobello Sandwich
to the untrained eye that may look like the face of boredom
But to someone who knows better, that is the face of longing to eat that eggplant sandwhich
Grilled eggplant on bread
complete eggplant sandwich
and THERE'S always the option to 'nini it
"Damn, jim, that is so good"
here's a closer look of what they've been doing in the background
Yea, they're playing Yatzee
