That nice clear drink with a piece of lemon peel. I need it now.

The peas looks so…green.

4 Jennifer Hess June 23, 2009 at 12:52 pm: Jamie – I usually whisk vinaigrettes by hand, but in this case I let the food processor do most of the work. I added a shallot, coarse sea salt, a blob of sharp dijon mustard, some champagne vinegar and a bunch of basil leaves to the bowl of the machine, pulsed it a few times to chop everything, then turned the motor on and let it go while I added olive oil. I mixed in some mustard seeds at the end.

Marie – one of these days you and I are going to have a drink together. Count on it.

Sean – Thank you!
5 aileen June 23, 2009 at 3:55 pm: i can’t believe how appealing all of the seafood looks. how did you prepare the muscles on that bed of rice? i’m imagining a good amount of garlic and some oil…. yum!
6 Carissa June 24, 2009 at 2:31 pm: What kind of mold do you use for your ice cubes? They look like perfect squares. Are they?
7 Johanna~Pretty Girls Use Knives June 24, 2009 at 6:18 pm: Did you have any difficulties turning your black rice into risotto? My wild rices always seem to take forever, take way more stock than I prepare for, yet never come out as soft, creamy or chewy as I’d like. Any tips?
It all, as usual, looks glorious.
