Many thanks!
 
 
How's this?
 
HotDayummm!!! 
 
Oh! um, is that for the bikini or the guy wearing the bikini....
 
 
:lol:  Pauly, it's very good to have you back in the fray!
 
I just wiped a bunch of awesomesauce off my face. 
 
This was a fun throwdown for me because pretty much everything was home-grown or self-caught (or caught by a friend....). 
 
I made Florida Lobster-avocado bisque using homegrown avocados and lobster I caught myself (there was a sense of pride in that!)
The sandwich was a fresh mahi-Cuban sandwich. I interpreted the traditional Cuban sandwich with blackened/grilled Mahi instead of roast pork. 
Pressed in the sandwich robot with a mustard/creme tartar. Damn it was good. 
I dipped the sandwich in the soup because....well because it was tasty that way!!
 
BTW. It's freaking hot as hell here, I bet the soup was really nice for you poor bastards living in the cold.... :)

Frydad's Mahi Cubano with Lobster Avocado Bisque
 
This was a fun one. Most of the stuff I used was home grown or locally sourced by friends. 
 
Soup: 
Sautee onion and fresh jalapeno in 1 T butter
Add 3 C chicken stock
Add a whole Florida avocado (get a big one)
Juice of 1 Lime
Half a shot of dark rum
Season to taste
Motor-boat until it is soupy and smooth
Top with chopped grilled lobster
Enjoy.
 
Sandwich:
Fresh Cuban bread
Cuban Tartar (deli mustard, crema, dill relish, crushed cayenne pepper)
Jamon Serrano (high quality deli ham)
Deli Provolone from a Cuban market
Blackened/Grilled Mahi
Assemble sandwich and press in a sandwich robot until it's melty. Serve with soup.
Feel free to dip the sandwich into the soup...it's awesome!!
