It's been a while, here's what was on the menu tonight:
Foie Gras Terrine on Toasted Macadamia Nut Brioche with Pickled Cherry Compote.
White Gazpacho with Dayboat Scallop Ceviche. Most people don't know that gazpacho is originally a soup made from old bread, cold water, cucumber, and garlic: the stuff that usually tastes like V-8 juice came much later.
Rosted Beef Tenderloin Rubbed with Garlic and Herbs on Wilted Swiss Chard with Walnuts. Chive Butter and Fried Parsnip Straws. The butter looks huge, but it's really a paper thin slice that drizzled down onto the shard, evenutally.
Broiled Wild King Salmon on a Warm Potato Salad with Fennel and Pancetta, Roasted Corn Beurre Blanc. Summer, you gotta love it!

Kaffir Lime Panna Cotta with Figs, Raspberries, and Crumbled Amaretti Cookie. Panna Cotta is the best summer dessert, but awful to desribe. It's cream and buttermilk with gelatin. See, that doesn't sound good. But it is so very light and if you put great summer fruits on, it's the perfect subtle compliment.
Go in Peace
