The first leg of the Journey starting from the right was the called the "Booze Cruise" which consisted of a flight of jell-o shots.
- Coconut rum and maraschino cherry
- Orange vodka and pickled ginger
- Lemon cream pie with marshmallow fluff vodka and graham cracker crust
The shots are easy to make, use one packet of unflavored gelatin .25 oz with 1 c of your favorite liquid concoctions and let them set. Orange and pickled ginger was 3/4 c fresh squeezed orange juice, 1/4 c pickled ginger juice, 1 C vodka, bring to a boil with 2 packets of gelatin, chill slightly, fill hollowed out oranges, add chiffonade of pickled ginger, chill 2 hours and slice.
The encore of our journey took us to the "Pacific Rim". Starting from the right we had:
- Grilled Hawaiian sword fish with a Polynesian taro root mash and taro root chip
- Crispy skin Copper River salmon with grilled flatbread bruschetta
- Sesame crusted Hawaiian Ahi tuna with a red cabbage-sesame puree, and rice flour dusted potato scallop
We finished our journey with a "Sweet Landing" of simple home made mini cup cakes starting from the right we presented:
- Key lime
- Chocolate orange
- Strawberry vanilla
The guests enjoyed their journey with us as well as watching us prepare and plate the flight of fish on the action station. Next month's theme will be focusing on taste memories, that is creating new ones with familiar comfort foods.
