oooooohhhhh! gnocco frito! love it!! we had it served as part as an antipasto platter- if you want to recreate at home nishla we like this one:
thanks so much for your report!
-
Wendy: Thank you! Our garden has produced asparagus a lot longer than normal--I guess because it hasn't been so hot. I love steaming them in a bit of water with lemon pepper just until tender and throwing it in a pasta salad.
thank you!!! tonight I made some pasta salad with asparagus, spicy capacola, pecorino, roasted shallots and parsely- we'll take it for lunch over the next 2 days!!
tonight we also had pasta! fettucinin with arugula pesto and garlic/chili pepper grilled shrimp

Hi Shal (waves!) nice to see you blogging...I had a hunch it was you! you are crazy leaving seattle in the summer! it's 80F today and Alaskan Kodiak River Salmon are in!
I'm very interested to see your dinner at Tetsuya's - is that the place where the chef kind of does similar dishes that Achetez (sp) does at Alinea??
-
mmmmm all looks good but special shout out to these!
Last night we started with summer rolls with shrimp and peanut sauce. buckwheat noodles with sesame and chives
beautiful!!
what a great idea! i love asparagus and pasta salad- thank you!!
last night we had a friend over- started with pegu clubs, fried chickpeas with rosemary and procuitto wrapped bread sticks.
then salad of green beans, radish and basil
slow roasted Yukon River King Salmon with fresh herb buerre blanc and roasted asparagus wrapped in bacon.

-

we have ressies there in aug so will look forward to your report hemingway!
-
ahhhh.... this continues to prove my theory- the better the view the worse the food! I'm not a fan of Salty's but I've worked with many who were.
glad you had a better lunch today (oops! edited to mean yesterday!)
-
David, what restaurant was your lunch at? i assume it was in Seattle?
-
Our friend and fellow eG'er Forest took us here last time we were in Paris, we enjoyed it quite a bit! Nice dinner, great space and good prices. I know she considers it one of her "go to" places as it certainly is not touristy and the food is solid. They also have a great cheese plate!
-
LaCookrasha that looks soooo oooey and gooey!!! (that's very good in my book!) welcome!
and Shelby your pics are great, wonderful lighting- welcome!
Dinner last night was skate in brown butter with steamed asparagus with fleur de sel and lemon. This is definitely one of my favorite meals to make, and it is even better when I don't feel like doing as much work in the kitchen.
this is a favorite of mine to make too and you've just reminded me I need to do it again. Do you take the cartlidge out yourself or have your fish monger do it?
-
beautiful pictures David! Have you ever done a traditional clafouti (no crust and in the cast iron pan?) if not I urge you to as they are wonderful! also have you tried not pitting the cherries?? there is a distinctly different taste- you get a real almond flavor in the background when the pits are left in and surprisingly having the pits in makes you really enjoy each bite of the clafouti!
when you get a chance there is a wonderful thread in the cooking section on clafouti and the great Paula Wolfert even chimes in with some info!!!
I love the look of those pork chops! great idea!!
Can you comment a bit on the restaurant scene in Spokane? In my day the Campbell House and Ankony's were the go to places but I'm sure newer more up to date places exsist??
-
yeah!!!! I'm just now getting a chance to chime in but YES I want those huckleberries and accept your offer! I'm at the airport weekly so maybe we can meet and do a hand off! haha! Great blog David!!!
-
tonight we had much better luck in the kitchen!
started with a shaved raw artichoke, parsley and manchego salad with proscuitto and flat bread served with Amber Dream cocktails enjoyed out in the sun on the balcony.
next up lamb shnitzle with aioli and tarragon roasted zucchini & onions with goat cheese and olives
pinot noir in the glass, cocoa nibs for dessert
-
PORT Brownies??? damn!!! that sounds divine!
first night back in the kitchen in a long time and it wasn't very good
salad with plums and parmesean was good and will be made whenever plums are in the house!
scallops with mushrooms and shallots served with spinach and ricotta papperdelle were fine but not great and not very photogenic
-
that statue is sooo funny!
Your meal pictures are gorgerous!
Thanks Wendy...I was quite inspired by your own Italy report last year!
I remember seeing your photo of the small Florence buses. Our tour guide said because they run on electricity, they were too quiet and people were getting hit, so now they beep constantly.
-
eggs! souffles, omelettes, sandwiches, carbonara, etc
-
Ann_T I am very sorry to hear about your dog.

yeah!! get to re live Florence through Nishla! can't wait to hear about your experiences.
-
GreekCook: Thank you, and apologies.
Shalmanese: What, no dessert?
No seriously, that is an amazing and ambitious meal. I’m exhausted and hungry just looking at the pictures. When did you start cooking, and how many contributed?I’ll start lobbying now for an invite to your 40th.
Ling brought brownies and I made some fruit frozen yogurt thing which remained uneaten.
I cooked everything myself except the last 2 dishes which were made by Ling. It was fun but I don't think I'll be doing it again. Then again, that's what I said last year
.Happy Birthday Shal! sorry we weren't able to join- you definately had a stellar meal there!
and potato is my favorite butter flavor!
cheers!!!

anyone been to the new Davidburke yet? is it open yet?

Huckleberries from the PNW I'd say having grown up in Spokane. Come to think of it that shot looks like the outskirts of Spokane WA.....
