So for a dinner date last night I came up with a great menu centered around a live lobster. I didn’t manage to take pictures because I was hectically preparing the meal, but here’s the menu:

White pluot with lemon zest ricotta & olive oil (stolen from Peter’s prosciutto wrapped pluot & ricotta)

Lobster with fresh fava beans, corn, chanterelles, and sorrel (with a Petit Chablis which paired really nicely)

Heirloom tomato spaghetti (sweet, no onions, also stolen from Peter)

Bergamont olive oil with chocolate ice cream & salt (Stolen from Peter who stole it from somewhere else!)

The date ended up pretty crappy (I should have sacrificed Jeff the lobster to one of my friends instead of this guy!) but my meal turned out fantastic.
