As Thomas Keller fans, my wife purchased a signed copy of the book for my birthday a couple years ago and it is an amazing cookbook. The dish ended up spectacular (if I do say so myself) and definitely satisfied my lobster fix for a while. I noticed that you did not further reduce the broth to a saucier consistency. Was that intentional? Also, did you prepare the coral oil? It definitely adds a distinct flavor element. Here's a pic of my attempt. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n209/patrickmarkel2004/FL-MacCheese/?action=view¤t=FL-MacChz2.jpg" REL="nofollow"> Mac 'n Cheese Close up</A><BR/><BR/>Cheers and Happy New Year!<BR/><BR/>-PatrickPatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465388179590745008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543389752792247888.post-90391271572262968372007-12-07T22:33:00.000-05:002007-12-07T22:33:00.000-05:00sorry, I must be a johnny-come-lately.

I served it as a first course before the "Guinea Fowl wrapped in Confit Byaldi" that weekend. <BR/><BR/>I tweaked the recipe a little. I only had one lobster for four people, so I used both the shell and body for the sauce and served smaller portions.<BR/><BR/>The creamy lobster broth kinda reminded me of ice cream. I'm tempted to try to run it through an ice-cream maker sometime. <BR/><BR/>Both dishes turned out really well. They required a lot of work on Saturday, but only about 30 minutes of prep and cooking on Sunday. (I finished both at the same time and held the Guinea Fowl in a 170 F oven while we ate the lobster.)Steve Dunhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370344207780558559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543389752792247888.post-6033825673570161582007-07-26T12:49:00.000-04:002007-07-26T12:49:00.000-04:00mmm, just stumbled upon your site. sounds delicio...mmm, just stumbled upon your site. sounds delicious, good pix too.
