I steeped them like a tea in a syrah syrup along with thier more robust cousins the nectarines. But I was very happy to hear that the menu was a hit with you! You would decide to finally come in while I am on honeymoon.....</p> The “poached” peaches were not actually cooked!

Although some call it laziness, I prefer to think of it as a Zen-like practice of letting go. Plus, it usually results in some of the best meals. Contacting the restaurant ahead of time and asking them to put together a meal can be even more rewarding, such as my experience at Mixtura a while back.</p> I find myself leaving my meal choice in the hands of the kitchen more and more often.

But now it can be told.</p> There was also some kind of sauce with the duck and vegetables, but I forgot whether it described the sauce on the menu, and I couldn’t really figure out what was in the sauce anyway, so I didn’t mention it.
