Sign in indigo. Think it rings true!

Visiting Lillienne!

These photos are long overdue since I actually went to visit Lillienne in March. But one of the things she convinced me to see was the Chinese garden, which was created in the authentic way (no glue!) and with authentic materials. I definitely recommend going–it’s beautiful.

Cold drinks

Smoothies (green tea and milk tea) at hiroko’s place.

French restaurant week

Hangar steak, salad, and potato gratin at AOC. Steak was perfectly cooked (I’ve very rarely found steak cooked actually medium rare, as I request it, although to be fair I haven’t gone to many steak places in New York) and potato was phenomenal.

Broiled Lamb Chops!

Ignoring the plate, this is a pretty picture, no? It was my first time using the broiler so I was nervous, but the lamb turned out very well–medium rare, as a matter of fact.

The recipe I used was very simple:

Mince four cloves of garlic and one handful of rosemary. Then add a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Take the mixture and rub it all over your lamb chops (I had six frenched, not separated). Then broil for 4 minutes on each side, on high, to get a nice pink colour still on the meat.
