Farewell, Icarus
Monday, June 22, 2009
It was Hyoun’s birthday today (well, last night at this point), so I treated him to a meal at Icarus before it closes for good next month. Grilled shrimp appetizer with mango-jalapeno sorbet and chili-glazed pork loin for me, potato gnocchi and bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin for him, and we split the passionfruit baked Alaska for dessert.
Working with hot peppers is one thing I’m still shy about in the kitchen – given that chopping onions can still be problematic for me sometimes, the idea of something with even more need for caution concerns me, to say the least. But I would love to replicate that mango-jalapeno sorbet. Maybe I can get Hyoun to deal with the jalapenos …
