FRIDAY I had a great visit with David Nicastro yesterday. We laughed about the adrenaline highs. That self imposed drug of the workaholic and thrill seeker. The drug that keeps you on your feet and functioning, well past the 12 hour days. Do you think that the real chef and food purveyors are just thrill seekers with an intense work ethic? They have to have something to show for their addiction? David had the organic Seville Oranges, that I needed for our Marmalade. Watch for it! Nicastro’s in the Glebe, really does have amazing produce. Something Fish Lamb Ragout w/red wine & prune Pissaladiere Mac’n'Cheese w/Old Amsterdam, leeks & shrooms We are well stocked!
