It’s summer. It’s still too hot to cook too much in my kitchen, although I do have designs on some great ice creams and sorbets, and ryn is asking after the saffron rosewater ice cream I made (and blogged about here) oh-so-long-ago….But in the meantime, how about an image or two…

Above and below–some treats from BLT Steak in Miami. What a fun, fabulous and delicious evening it was. I thought I made great popovers. BLT’s? Well. I don’t know what they do, but I have a new goal to aspire to. A bit of butter and salt made them beyond compare.

The salad below? Baby arugula, grilled ricotta salata and icy cold chunks of watermelon from Tryst in Delray Beach. What a great lunch, especially when enjoyed with a great glass of cool white wine and the company of a friend, which is exactly how I enjoyed this.
