Day #134 End-of-the-season heirloom tomatoes, warm “cheese” crisps, and melting olive oil “ice cream” pg. 80 entertaining in the raw
December 6, 2009
To end my long day of studying and work. I decided to make this beautiful meal. I had the crisps in the refrigerator. I made them a while back.
I decided to leave out the olive oil ice cream. Ick. I just felt like why make it. It doesn’t even sound good to me. But I did marinate the tomatoes. I dressed it up with arugula from the other day.
Jason bought me a beautiful heirloom tomato yesterday, so of course I had to use it. It was huge. I peeled it. Which was simple and I deseeded it. I cut thin slices and then formed them into squares. My presentation is a 1 on a scale of 1-10. MK’s is simply divine. One day I hope to dress up my meals like he does. Maybe a new camera would help.
