pk
puff pastry
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, add frozen spinach and wine. Cook covered over low heat until done. Cool and drain by squeezing spinach with hands or cheesecloth, reserving liquid.
In a medium saute pan, cook bacon until almost done, then add onions and garlic, continue cooking until onions are golden. Remove bacon mixture from pan and add cooking liquid from spinach. Open oysters (be sure to keep the 1/2 shell you will not be using near to 1/2 shell containing oyster) draining liquid into pan also. Add thyme and boil over medium heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add cream and hazelnut liqueur; continue cooking until mixture is thickened and reduced a bit. Season to taste with white pepper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine spinach with bacon mixture and cream sauce. Stir until thoroughly combined. Top each oyster with 1-2 tablespoons of spinach mixture. Sprinkle with swiss cheese and half as much asiago cheese. Roll puff pastry accordingly. Using the 1/2 shell as a template, set on top of pastry and cut out, then lift the piece of pastry and put on top of corresponding oyster. Continue doing this until all oysters are topped with pastry, discard unneeded 1/2 shells. Beat egg with 1 tablespoon of water and with a pastry brush, brush tops of each oyster. Place oysters on a baking sheet and bake in a 400-degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until pastry is a dark golden brown. Serve immediately.

Francesco Mazzei's Scialatielli with Clams, Bottarga & Amalfi Lemon
Scialatielli is a pasta shape originally from Amalfi in Campania, although it’s now enjoyed throughout southern Italy. Similar to tagliatelle, it’s shorter, thinner and cut by hand, and the dough can be made into sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Francesco pairs the silky ribbons with simply prepared clams brightened with white wine and lemon juice, before adding a touch of luxury with a grating of bottarga (dried mullet roe).

Fun ending to my show at Full MOON Oyster Bar in Clemmons
After I had done my last song I was reminded I never got around to performing Piano Man so I fired up an encore and to my surprise the pretty girls behind the bar proceeded dance and sing.
PS, for those of you who know harps, I had unknowingly blown a reed in my C harp during the show so it's fun to watch me try to work around this while doing the song.
