Things developing slowly at the restaurant, hope to be open next week. Had some practice stretching and topping pies, finding the subtlety in L's style, the logic in his distribution and balance. We worked more on the Apple & Ricotta pie, this time with a small base layer of moz and more honey. Needs less honey, more apple, apple needs to be peeled and maybe a tangier cheese to contract with the apple. Delicious as all hell with the cold florettes of smooth ricotta, but can be better.

DINNER: 7:30pm, bread and butter, waygu carpaccio, half a suckling pig, bluefoot mushrooms, gnocchi, pork risotto, pureed potatoes, chocolate waffle with chocolate sauce and roasted banana & peanut butter caramel-crunch ice cream, mint tea, water, 2 bowl, hunger 4/5
Birthday dinner for brother in law at Craft, one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Food was outstanding, but the style of service -- food delivered on family-style platters, coming out when they are ready instead of all at once -- seems a bit out of step with expectations. Still, enjoyed myself greatly, though the check made me feel guilty -- perhaps this money should've been given to charity or kept in savings or something?
