THE WAIT IS OVER! I'M BAAAACK!!!

By popular demand, I have RETURNED!!! Sorry for the hiatus. Lots of stuff going on in the life of a "Chunkman". First of all, Thanks to all you totally groovy people for our cooking class last night! Whew! I'm tired, but it was a whirling vortex of fun. For those of ya that couldn't get in or were out of town like Lisbeth the Gamecock Princess, here was last night's menu: (by the way, it was a Sauce Class, you know)

1) Marinated Grilled chicken breasts sliced on a bed of mixed greens with a Basil Vinaigrette, cranberries and shaved Parmesan
2) Penne Rigate pasta with a Basil and Sundried Tomato Pesto
3) Grilled Beef Tenderloin Napoleon Bearnaise with Seared Bay Scallops and Grilled Asparagus
4) White chocolate Mousse with Chocolate meringues and a Raspberry Coulis

Yum Yum YUMMO!!! We had a great time, and I was so happy to have my good friends Steve and Tootie Poteet in the house. It was an incredible atmosphere here last night and hope all of you can join us again sometime. Check our website at www.thecooksstation.com for the schedule of upcoming classes.
Coming this weekend: The Lee Brothers from Charleston are coming to do a book signing of their latest cookbook, SIMPLE, FRESH, SOUTHERN. We're very excited about this and hope you'll come and join us from 2-4 pm on Sunday the 28th. They're going to be doing some cooking demos and I'll be helping them with a couple of their recipes from the book, so it should be a "tasty" Sunday! Well, that's all for right now as I have to get busy again. I won't stay away so long this time, so watch for more incredible "happenin's"!! Cheers, Everybody!

Chef Mark "Chunkman" Pollard: Chef, Friend, Father to my 4 awesome Children and all their friends we've "Adopted", and husband to the love of my life, my Princess!
