Have you stepped outside today? The rain! I love this kind of weather - grey skies, non-stop pouring. With no obligations, I am content to stay inside, cuddle with hot chocolate (like
this one Kat made), a book, and even laptop to get work done. Hope you are having an equally good end to the work week. Wanted to share photos from a guest lunch cooked by
Laurent Gras at the The Ritz-Carlton's Periwinkle restaurant.
Never had a chance to eat at L
2O in Chicago before Laurent Gras left...but if this meal was any indication of what's to come, I'm excited to see what he does next. First course:
Conch with fresh coconut, caviar, parsley, and lime.
Then
Caribbean Lobster, butter poached with a savory dark rum sauce and lettuce.
More local fish -
Wahoo, seared outside, raw inside with tomato, ginger, and cilantro.
Ending on a tropical, fresh note -
Melon Consomme and coconut gelée cubes, lemon ginger sorbet and butter cake. It's a wonder I didn't gain dozen pounds from this trip ;)

thanks for the shout out, hope you enjoyed staying indoors :)
How could I not, the hot chocolate + marshmallows were so pretty!!
The meals sounds divine especially the melon consomme! Have a recipe or any suggestions on how to make it?
