Breaking in Clark's new House...!

My friend Clark and his wife had moved into their new home several months ago and after a month of living there, Clark and I thought we should have a Dinner Party.  His words were:

"I want you to Break in My NEW KITCHEN!"-Clark
 

The Dinner Party Menu:

Starter: Corn Chowder
Main: Pork Loin Roast, Brussels Sprouts (Prepared by Clark and the beginning of my love for Brussels Sprout), and Macaroni and Cheese

"Dessert": Brie En Croute with Peach and Almonds

 

 

The corn Chowder was made from scratch that I had made a Corn Broth as a base. 

I had first Created the Brie En Croute a couple months before that for my Wine & Cheese Party.  It was a huge hit with the Buttery Puff Pastry and the Creamy Brie combined with the Peach Preserve and Almond.  It was almost like a Cheesecake!

I had prepared the Pork Loin the night before by letting it Brine in a Brine I Created for 24 Hours.  I had seared it off and finished it off in the oven and cooked it to 140 Degrees F.  It was cooked to a perfect Medium, but had alot of Criticism for it by other Guest. 

I took a bottle of White Wine and Deglazed the pan off to Create a White Wine Reduction.  At this point the Pan had Flambeed and the look on his Wife was PRICELESS!!

Per Clark's Instructions, I BROKE IN THEIR KITCHEN as he had requested!!!!  His wife has BANNED me to Cook at their house for a while!
