Snippets of my experinces

I  am having the feeling that this forum is in the doldrums and as such I am going to post snippets of my experiences . If the feedback is positive then I will continue.
I had just finished my apprenticeship as  chef and  two of the  sous chefs took me out to celebrate at a local restaurant . There was no one there except a waitress and the bartender ' We were having a great time when two lovely young white girls walked in . I blurted out " you guys are late , we were waiting here awhile  " . T hey were taken aback and one said
"Do we know you" ? We explained that we were kidding and they were good sport about . Ten minutes the came over and asked if they could join us and of course we said that they could .
My friends bought them a round of drinks and were having a good time
One of the girls explained that she was a recent graduate in accounting and was looking for work for four months and that she was not a person of means and was desperate for a job .
I felt sorry for her and told her that I can get her a job entry level in the  in the laundry section  and of course she was skeptical .. The head of laundry section was a Guyanese woman  with who I was very close. '   
T o make a long story short she accepted the job making eleven dollars per hour . 
Two months later , there was an opening in accounting and guess who got the job .
This    woman  within  three years became chief accountant . She never stopped thanking me . 
  As the years rolled by we all moved on , She went with another company got married  and I quit the profession . Now and then we will chat on the phone exchanging pleasantries and when possible meeting for drinks at a bar but mostly we drifted  away.
Many years later , I was surprised to receive a phone call from her  , She wanted to hire me to make lunch for some very important guests of hers . I explained that  I don't do that anymore but she implored , begged, cajoled until I agreed .
We met up at the same restaurant and she  basically gave me an unlimited budget to work with
I planned the menu and on that  Friday we went a shopping . She promised me a woman assistant who supposedly knew something about cooking .
I  tkink That I should now share with you what I served
My menu
Appetisers
Tempura ... Prawns , sliced red snapper  snow peas , slices carrots  and mushrooms
Soup .. cream of mushrooms
Salad  Belgian endives    topped with sliced Quail breasts cracked black pepper and a warm raspberry vinaigrette dressing
Main course , This is where I got innovative . I was going to invent a dish that these people never had in a restaurant or any poster here  for that matter
I was going to serve  tenderloin of veal cut into three ounce medallions  seasoned with only  white pepper and  kosher salt .. Two pieces person topped with crab meat .
The crabmeat will be sautéed in butter with  chopped  garlic and shallots with some white wine added, I planned then to make a hollandaise sauce to which I will fold in whipped cream '
The veal will  sautéed in butter and some olive oil on medium heat two minutes per side .
I was then going to place some crabmeat on each medallion of veal topped with the hollandaise and cream mixture and place under the broiler for two minutes  to give a  dark glaze appearance .
I kept the vegetable  and starch  component simple  , Fresh green beans sautéed in butter and garlic topped with sliced roasted almonds . I made a simple rice pilaff .
Desert
I made her buy Boston cream pie from a pastry shop'.

THE BIG DAY
I    had every thing prepared by 930 am and then I realised that I forgot to purchase Saki for the Tempura dip but not to worry , I used sherry and  you couldn't tell the difference. 
I was going to do this the  Al A carte way , no Buffet style
INTERMISSION
  It  is late now but if there is interest I will  continue with what transpired on that day , If not I will delete


 

That food you describe, do you have some pictures?

I wanna hear the rest.

why

Yes continue please. Very interesting. And it might be even better if you included some pics of the food you prepared. Fun life you're living, hey?

because I fass ...

Bro, i have had veal tenderloin medallions on many occassions.

as a matter of fact some people refuse to eat the Young calf meat

white pepper was an awful choice

why the salt Kosher ??

was the veal Halal ?

why halal

I use rock salt in a salt shaker with a grinder. rock salt is better dan kosher but you need the grinder.

and the plastic shakers are a waste. 

you have to go all the way and get wood.  expensive!
