It's tomato season! Well, I am not at Chez Panisse(still haven't been to the downstairs part) but I always think of it in August. Instead I have been making penne with balsamic vinegar and cherry tomatoes. So delicious and easy to make. Just halve the cherry tomatoes, cook down in lots of olive oil, add salt, pepper, balsamic. Toss with penne.
I started using the vinegar after Tricia got me a great Italian food basket from Trader Joe's — the olive oil and the vinegar were so good! I am now on to some new olive oil I got at Rosario's, my local Italian shop in Astoria. To add to all that, B's parents brought us great salt from Provence. There it is on the right, with my Simplex kettle in the background. It boils water in what seems like two seconds, and it makes life so much easier to use it to boil the water for pasta, instead of waiting!
Also on my dishes of late: sauteed endives. I have done it two ways: 1) Sliced- sauteed with sliced lettuce, in butter and olive oil. The lettuce does add water, which needs to be cooked off, but adds interesting flavor and color, and is a nod to Chinese cooking. 2) Sliced, but with the firm ends sliced and sauteed first, til caramalized, creating yummy burnt butter/endive flavor, then adding finely sliced leaves. I also eat endive and romaine salad with hard boiled egg- oh yeah.
Tonight I made version two, along with shitakes sauteed in butter, served with some Whole Foods Hoki filets(in a box, frozen) topped with my version of remoulade. Mix mayo, Wildwood plain soy yogurt(or of course, any thick plain yogurt), dijon(Edmund Fallot!), salt, pepper, and finely minced celery(a lot).
We also had a really nice heirllom tomato salad at Cafe Loup. I had wanted to go for a while, since the place and logo are so cute. We had a good excuse when Susan gave me that Diner's Deck. It is under construction outside the restaurant, but so comfy and large inside. We had a great skinny gay French waiter who kept winking at me. The food was delicious, and large portions. We shared the tomato salad, the endive salad with yellow/red beets, frites, and breaded scallops which came with mashed garlic potatoes, pickly cabbage, kale, and squash. We couldn't finish our food! Have you ever heard me say that? It was really great, and next time we have to return for the good-sounding desserts. (They have jazz brunch, for those of you who are into that sort of thing. Also, so easy to use the $10 off card from my Diner's Deck. Thanks, Susan!
In other meal news:
Another great meal at Trattoria L'Incontro, right down the street in Astoria. I had the fish, because surprisingly, it is the best thing there! Of course, all the food is amazing. B had house-made fettucine in fresh tomato sauce, wrapped in thin slices of eggplant! B's mom had amazing duck. My Meditteranean fish(started with an O, I think) with shitake and sliced asparagus, in a brown sauce.
Rai Rai Ken, again, before seeing Rize in in the East Village. Fascinating movie, and B got to have almond do-fu with fruit cocktail for dessert for the first time, after our ramen.
Bad service on a weeknight at Fatty's Cafe. Our waittress was probably new, but the problem was also with the ktichem who couldn't get us the other half of our food after a mix-up.
