YUM.

I made something awesome. Well, I made it but I didn't come up with the recipe. The recipe is from Suzanne Goin's Sunday Suppers at Lucques, which I picked up a signed copy of at Tavern in LA. Dinner there was wonderful, but I am even happier with some of the recipes I have made at home from the cookbook. In part because at the restaurant, SHE gets all the praise. At home, I reign supreme. At least in Shawn's eyes. He almost fell out of his chair when I put dinner on the table. He said we should take a picture, so we did.

Melon with Prosciutto, Figs, Arugula, and Mint Cream.

Fee-nomenal.

Served with Pan-Roasted Rib-eye Steaks with Marchand de Vin (red wine, shallot, and butter sauce)

Shawn said it was life-changing good. Something so simple, yet A-mazing.

I know you're jealous, I am too, because we ate it all and we don't have any left. If you want the recipe, let me know and I will send it. But beware, you might be expected to cook like this again.
Which won't be hard to do if you have that handy cookbook around. $23 on Amazon could get you a lifetime of kudos.
Now, all this blogging (it's like exercise, once you stop it is hard to start up again) is making me hungry.
What do we have to eat?
