Monday, June 15th

A Summer listing ($12)

  • Purée of English Pea Soup with White Truffle Oil and Parmesan Crisps
  • Served cold
  • Salad of: Tomatoes, Avocado, Asparagus, Scapes, Cilantro, Balsamic Reduction and Parsley Oil
  • Rib-eye Steaks with Rice and Sautéed Spinach on Sauce Bordelaise
  • Salad of Fresh and Candied fruits

Because of my annoyance with the presentation that I've not managed at any of the dinners yet, I feel the need to cut down on the volume of courses and focus a little on how they look. Also I'm feeling lazy - and can't come up with a second listing that isn't particularly contrived feeling to me. Also, additionally, I think that this listing smacks of early summer.
