Never question why things happen!!
A couple weeks ago my brother came over and gave me a bag of flavored pasta, in different shapes. I asked him "why did you bring me this?" he said cause he saw it in the store and he thought I might be able to make something cool with it. then my mom comes over last sat and brings me a bunch of boneless chicken, some different kinds of mushrooms and jar of pepper corns for my pepper grinder. I thought to my self why cause I hardly ever cook, I'm never home. All that stuff is just gonna go bad. then tues my dad goes to the store and is trying to buy monterey jack (white cheese) for tacos and accidentally bought parmesan. So he was pissed but when he went back to the store to get the right stuff he left the parm. at the house.
Well I get home from work tonight and found out that chef john passed away this evening. All I could think about was I wanted to cook. When dave died we drank. He owned bars and drank so that's what we did for him. Well john owned a restaurant and taught me almost everything I know about cooking fancy food. So that's what I wanted to do. I went down stairs and saw all this stuff that normally i would never think about having here in the house. I made a 4 course meal for absolutely no one. I ate some and it was damn good.
The pepper corns threw me off the most, cause my first day of work at chef john's he told me that chefs use fresh ground pepper never pre ground stuff cause it looses it's flavor and makes you dishes less than what they can and should be. I haven't had pepper corns in over a year.
Good bye john I'll never forget what you did for me and how much you have helped me. I don't know where you go when you die but I know someone is eating and getting fatter as we speak.
