mid summer's feast

i was preoccupied w. cooking, and forgot to take nice pics of the food. if you (you know who you are) have better quality ones, pls kindly forward them to me.


andre's treat to us - caipirinha



gazpacho in a rice bowl. this is THE reason i crave a full-size food processor that would let me make gazpacho in one shot vs 5 shots w the tiny one i have now.

this is the oxtail dish that made me super hyper (almost horny) seeing the gelatin come out


thought the guacamole was too wet. got another recipe from roberto without tomatoes; indeed that was chunkier and better


black summer truffles definitely can't compare to its winter counterpart; but in retrospect we shd've warmed it *a little bit* before shaving so the aroma could come out more.
