And the winner is … Bob Citron?
2008-02-07 02:00:00 After speaking real estate to the Santa Ana Kiwanis on Wednesday, the group asked me to pick the luncheon raffle winner for them. Hey, anything for a good cause. So I dug my hand into a bucket of tickets and pulled one out. Then … It was one of those “No Way!” moments, when you hear the Twilight Zone theme in your head. A man in the back of the room at the Ebell Club raised his hand with the matching ticket. The victor looked oddly familiar. “Oh, Bob won!” someone cried out. And it took a second. It’s been, eh, 13 years, since I last saw the man. Bob. As in Bob Citron. Former County Treasurer. Man who tossed this county into bankruptcy in 1994 by essentially buying raffle tickets on falling interest rates, as the Federal Reserve was hiking them. (To think I even discussed the bankruptcy briefly in my talk!) Sadly, Citron didn’t hold the winning ticket in ‘94. This day, Bob came up to the podium, collected his $25 gift from a club memb...

Tarte au citron
2007-11-19 04:39:00 You may not know it, since it has become so ubiquitous in bistrots around the world, but lemon tart is a typical Nicois dish. In Nicois dialect, it is called tourta de limoun and is usually made with lemons from Menton (you remember the place where I had a fantastic lunch at Mirazur? It's there and Mauro Colagreco, by the way, is lucky enough to have in his restaurant backyard a beautiful garden with lemon trees).Lemons have been cultivated in the region since Ancient times and thrive thanks to the forgiving climate. The fruit is believed to have been imported by the Greeks after they founded the city of Nice around 350 BC.But let's get back to the recipe. There are many ways to prepare this dessert but Thomas Keller's recipe is in my opinion the best as it produces a particularly light result. In addition, the pine nut crust tastes sweeter and its crumbly texture is less filling than a traditional pate sucree. Instead of Menton lemons that are not available in the US, I adopted ...

2007-11-13 23:10:00 I am an admirer of the Zune double-shot finish. I am not all that fond of the new iPod Nano colors. I think Apple chose the colors in weird lighting, but the new Zunes are bold, bright and, well, yummy. Now Microsoft is adding to the yumminess with an all-new Citron color for the flash-based ...

?Citron? colored 4/8GB Zune discovered
2007-11-13 15:17:00 The Zune software hasn’t been released for very long but I’ve already thrown my usual arsenal of weapons at it in the hope something undisclosed in the source will waive the white flag. Fortunately, I won’t go to sleep empty handed as I’ve discovered a new device color for the Scorpius 4GB/8GB Zune that is ...
L?Occitane Honey & Lemon (Miel & Citron) ~ quick fragrance review
2007-10-18 22:26:00 L'Occitane's latest fragrance release is Honey & Lemon / Miel & Citron. I am not sure if it is meant to replace their Honey Gentle Water, which I've heard is slated for discontinuation (just repeating a rumor, mind you, so take with a grain of salt). I know I've smelled the Honey Gentle Water, which is a favorite of many, but I hardly remember it. From what I do remember, it was a very soft honeyed floral, more like a body spray than a perfume. The new Honey & Lemon is something else altogether, assuming my memory is at all on target. Honey and lemon are both present and accounted for; the honey is soft, the lemon is candied and nicely tart. But what Honey & Lemon is about, as much as anything, is vanilla and patchouli. This is a soft, vanillic gourmand, not too sweet and not at all heavy, with just a little wisp of lemon remaining past the top notes. The patchouli is very clean ? there is hardly any earthiness to speak of ? and there is a bit of sheer floral and...

Adagio - Citron Green Tea
2007-06-21 00:02:00 My favorite brew is Earl Grey, but Adagio's Earl Grey Bravo was one of the biggest tea disappointments I've yet experienced (if only because its aroma was so mind-blowingly perfect). Fortunately, Adagio more than made up for this blooper with their Citron Green. Its not technically an Earl Grey, but fans of the brew will no doubt recognize the bergamot-like aroma straight out of the bag. But whereas Earl Grey Bravo completely overdid the bergamot flavoring, resulting in a bitter, perfumey taste, they got things just about perfect with Citron Green. It smells great and tastes wonderful. Its made with a fairly light green tea blend, so those who aren't generally "greenies" don't have to worry about imbibing a brew that tastes either like tree bark or grass clippings. Instead its a light, fruity drink that hits all the right notes. The citron flavor which is so abundant in the aroma is nicely subdued in the taste, perfectly complimenting the olfactory experience. One caveat -...

Waiter There's Something In My... Citron
2007-05-29 14:25:00 I almost missed that one, all entangled that I was in webs of spun sugar! This month's edition of "Waiter There's Something In My..." focuses on stuffed fruits or vegetables and is hosted by Jeanne from Cooksister.There are those challenges when two or three recipes come to my mind and I keep oscillating between them for days...not for that one. For some reason only known to my brain (and trust me sometimes we don't communicate very well), the only thing that came to my mind and stayed there was "Citron Givre", or Frozen Lemon, another typical bistro dessert in France: a hollowed lemon filled with lemon sorbet. This was my dessert of choice when I was a child, really, it never failed that anywhere we went with my parents I would either have "vacherin" (a dessert of meringue and ice cream) or citron givre. Imagine: a whole lemon stuffed with more refreshing tart and sweet lemon flavored! How fitting for the theme and the hot days we are having now!As an adult, I did not lose my lo...

Citronee Bistro and Wine Bar
2007-05-03 05:04:00 June, me and Robyn in Nevada CityMyself and two friends spent the whole day, Monday, up in Nevada City, celebrating a birthday. We started of with a pedicure, went on to lunch, and after that, spent the afternoon shopping and wine tasting. For dinner we went to Citronee Bistro and Wine Bar. Never having been to Nevada City before I had done some previous research online to check out some good places, and this one was on the top of my list. We started of with a wine tasting paired with cheese by the Chef Robert Perez, in the Wine Bar. After taking a look at the menu we decided to stay for dinner for sure.We started of by sharing the Scottish Salmon (cured lox style) on Belgian Endive and Baby Greens with a delicious Citrusy Vinaigrette. Very fresh and a great start to the meal. The acidity in the citrusy vinaigrette cut perfectly through the fatty salmon.For entre I had the "Today's Special", Braised Short Ribs with Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes and a Red Wine Reduction.

Strawberries Citronge
2006-08-27 01:08:00 With strawberries still so sexy and luscious I couldn't help myself. I had to buy a quart and slice them up for a cool dessert to offer our dashingly handsome new neighbor [and friend] Joey. After all, what beats fresh, ripe fruit in season, especially after a late and lazy August afternoon spent under the portal, sipping [several of] Joey's fabulously limey [pucker your lips!] margaritas, and tasting a variety of sliced heirloom tomatoes [picked fresh that very day in an organic Taos garden] topped with thin dabs of marinated mozzarella [so creamy and herby and garlicky]?What do you give a guest who brings such treasures? And what do you serve after all the heat and sparkle of smart and insightful conversation, and all the peachy glow of new friendship and discovery. The flutter of synchronicity. And I forgot to mention, the dinner itself [which I'll blog about soon, and share the recipes]. Nothing. Nothing beats luscious summer strawberries. Especially when you macerate the rub...
