Hey guys...just a quick post for you tonight. I posted a picture on facebook and twitter earlier about these adorable little nuggets of deliciousness and have received a few tweets and instagram comments requesting the recipe. Truth be told, I wasn't really going to post this recipe because it is so simple that I didn't really think it worthy of the food-blog-world that normally intrigues me beyond belief with the creativity that exists amongst those people. But since you asked... of course I will share! :)
Well folks, it's Saturday. And that means, I'm coming up for air. I've been studying like a maniac for the last few days to try to make up for the 4 days I missed while in West Virginia for my grandmother's viewing and funeral. I definitely would like to take this time to thank all of you for your incredible support and thoughtful words during this hard time for me. As you know from a previous post, my grandmother was very dear to me and losing her is the hardest loss I have ever dealt with to date. Unfortunately, it couldn't have come at a worse time, because as you all know from my obsessively annoying twitter updates and pictures, I am studying for the BAR. Gross. Anyway...on to happier things...
Here are some things that make me happy: Top Chef, trying new things, and bacon. So here I go trying to mix all those into one.
I had just watched this episode of Top Chef (season 3) where the contestants in their "Quickfire Challenge" had to make "paupiettes" or potato-wrapped fish. It seemed simple enough and so I thought I would try it. I didn't have a mandoline but I thought it would be okay because of my superb knife skills (ok I don't have superb knife skills but I thought I would try anyway)... Well, apparently, using a mandoline is extremely important. I ended up not being able to slice the potatoes thinly enough so that they would wrap around the fish. FAIL.
So now here I am, stuck with a beautiful filet of halibut, gorgeous leeks just waiting to be the bed for this potato-wrapped fish, and potato slices too thick to wrap around. Definition of a trial and error. So here's what I did instead:
So I've been trying to figure out what my next post would be because, as I mentioned before, my GoogleDocs is starting to pile up with things I've been making lately, with the lack of time I have to post on here. There is this 30 day challenge thing that is going around on twitter that a lot of food bloggers are participating in but which I didn't find out about until it had already started and let's face it, I already have a lot on my plate with this little thing called the Bar Exam.

Cooking to Passing the Bar"
Anyone else obsessed with Top Chef on Bravo? Well, I am, and one of my favorite parts of the show is the "quickfire challenges." Becky introduced me to the show and I have been hooked ever since. I watch it all the time (although not as much recently because of BarPrep (boo!)) Here's another question: have you ever been to the beach and brought food down with you and then realized that you have not consumed all of it and there will be tons leftover/left behind that will just go to waste? Enter BHI Quickfire Challenge...
