Yesterday was a busy one. I had the small church stitching group here at my home for our Christmas Luncheon. And I served, for the first time ever, an English Trifle! Oh my! Was it ever good! I did the pound cake, and the real pudding, and then layered with raspberry preserves, strawberries, kiwi fruit, and blueberries, with a sprinkling of crushed biscotti cookies and slivered almonds. Geez, could I get another item in there, you're thinking? Nope, it was over the top, literally!
Mr. Dancing Bear was my Sous Chef** for the day and he did an excellent job! I was able to sit and chat with the ladies and not worry about the clean-up.
**And what is a Sous Chef, you ask? Well, here's what I found:
A
Sous Chef is second
in command after the Executive Chef in a professional kitchen. This means he or
she answers to the chef. It’s important
that a sous chef be intimately familiar with all the activities of the kitchen
and be prepared to do them in a pinch.
It doesn't say anything about 'clean-up duties' but Mr. Dancing Bear took the initiative and kept the kitchen all cleaned up!
I'm working on another vintage quilt and when done I'll post pictures.
