Sandra Lee Goes To Alinea [Dept of Satire]
Over at Sky Full of Bacon, Mike Gebert lands a major get: Sandra Lee, she of semi-homemade fame, shares her even more DIY'd version of A Razor, A Shiny Knife's DIY Achatz/Keller dinner:
Ms. Lee on Keller's famous Cornet of Salmon Tartare:
“This is basically an ice cream cone with fish in it. Well, who has time to fish for salmon? Fish sticks are a family favorite, just put them on a vanilla wafer with a dash of onion powder. I call it Jaws On a Surfboard. Doesn’t that sound like more fun to eat?”Achatz's Prawn with yuba, miso and orange peel:
“It’s too hard threading shrimp onto one of Alinea’s fancy little pieces of metal, and then wrapping orange peel around it. I just take an Orange Dreamsicle and then stick shrimp onto it with frosting from a tube. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and your family will love the presentation and the taste!”Achatz's Hot Potato/Cold Potato:
“This is where smart shopping can save you money and time. You’ve already got the instant mashed potato flakes, so follow the instructions on the box to prepare a cup’s worth. Then just stir in some T.G.I.Friday’s Potato Skins– they’re from the freezer section so they’re already cold! That’s precious time you can spend with your family instead of slaving in the kitchen all day, cooling things.”
It's so easy! Why didn't we all think of this ourselves?!
