Sure, I may be predictable in what I like. But every time here it’s different, yet so good!

smoked duck, really good parsnips, kale:

a mint pasta, with tiny radishes and clams:

Not shown, but my favorite: pepper-infused pasta, braised pork, meyer lemon!

I like sitting right by the kitchen and watching the sous chef triage orders and yell “fire the ____!” every few minutes.

This sort of pine-y vermouth was amazing (with a black pepper and pine nut shortbreadish dessert)

At the same time, I should shift back to cooking more…
