So the weekend is gone and another week has started. Saturday night was dinner with friends at a local joint getting known for a particular dessert named the “Captain Jack’s Buried Treasure”. It’s essentially some kind of ice cream, chocolate cake/pie extravaganza. No I didn’t take a picture of it, it wasn’t around long enough. I should mention I had a dozen raw oysters for dinner which were great but my mind been on the “buried treasure” ice cream cake thing since Saturday. I am making my own and I am close to re-creating a version except I am going to include peanut butter and some other stuff.

Dinner tonight in order to feel better about making and eating my own peanut butter cake/pie latter in the week was some basic grilled vegetable and chicken breast. Its raining here tonight so I busted out the old grill pan. Pretty simple really. A chicken breast, some celery, a green pepper and one yellow squash. Olive oil and some Tony Chacheres Creole seasoning. Boom Healthy eating!

I didn’t stop there however, I also had some zucchini and decided to make some bread. The zucchini bread was from a basic recipe I had picked up a few years ago from the internet. I can’t attribute who actually came up with the recipe since I don’t recall where online I got it. It’s pretty basic though so if there in any interest I’ll post the details.

So between tonights grilled vegetable medley and lean chicken, with a slice of zucchini bread, my guts will be sufficiently  douched out and healthy to take on my own version of that bastard Captain Jack’s chocolate ice cream cake. Except mine will be better, and it wont have some piratey silly name like “Buried Treasure”. Oh no mine will be named something way more cool. Like “Brock’s Big Old Nuts and Chocolate Balls Ice Cream Cake Pie” or “Commandant Kingston’s Massive Ice Cream Peanut Butter Chocolate Mother of all Cake Bombs”.

You just wait. Now if I can only convince Debbie to get her ass in gear as she is supposed to be hosting the dinner club for the month of August. I just may debut my creation there.
