Dora and I are truly blessed since the arrival of Rita 8-years ago, our gifted 'Domestic Goddess' who redefined eating at home for us. We cannot be more spoiled to have our favorite comfort foods served comfortably at the comforts of our dining table or even in front of the TV sometimes ... disrespectful to Rita and the fruits of her labor. Since my retirement Rita and I have put the mission of TKT (Test Kitchen at Tang) into practice, creating TKT Signatures ... a handful of top hits, some may-be's and God only knows how many miserable failures. It is not the end product but the process itself, the joy that comes with serving willing guineas pigs, the praises and of course the critiques that make our day.
After the luxuries of two back-to-back $$$$$ dinners within the week, we spiraled back to planet earth. Not to be outdone Rita produced the following last night :
* mix sautee of brunoised fresh and preserved vegetables
* kai-lan in finely chopped ginger and oyster sauce
* braised soft-boned ribs with carrots and turnips
* egg roll stuffed with tiny 'white-rice-fish', an old fashioned classic
* plain congee with julienne of Boston lettuce
It is so good to be home, thanks Chef Rita!
