Sad Keanu!!! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
What a beautiful end result... really gorgeous.
(And damn, girl, you're good at timing those pictures to hit on the beat and the big "moments" of the song.)

I was wondering how you'd do on this dish. I've tried those mozzarella balls three times, and I can't do them. Loving this video, but it's going to be hard to fall asleep tonight with that song in my head - thanks A LOT! :)
Posted by: Kevin | October 11, 2010 at 12:18 AM
Amazing! Love the video - a pity the balloons didn't work perfectly but it all looks pretty delicious nonetheless (especially on the rectangular plate!)

So, I see there's a new post from you in my Google Reader, and I get STOKED because I really like your writing and I've been so ready for a new post. And then, I see... it's a video. And I'm a little sad but only for about two seconds, because CHARIOTS OF FIRE? How awesome is that? And, then Sad Keanu? I think you are my most favorite person in the world right now. I don't know HOW you did it, but this thing is edited in kinda the same way you write. It's really cool. I love it.

Yea!

Sad Keanu and I approve of your usage of the Mariah Carey font (aka Ironclad).

Awesome
Posted by: Cesar | October 11, 2010 at 02:07 AM
This is awesome. No other words. Just awesome. It absolutely made my Monday.
Posted by: Tori | October 11, 2010 at 03:33 AM
HA! Boy, did I need this this morning. Thank you for making me smile.
Posted by: Jen | October 11, 2010 at 08:12 AM
I just love you to pieces.
Posted by: Marcy | October 11, 2010 at 08:56 AM
Beyond awesome. I especially love the tomato sculptures upon which the ingredients perch. Elegant, interesting and fun. And yes, thank you, Vangelis.
Posted by: Sean | October 11, 2010 at 10:44 AM
This is amazing -- Sad Keanu plus chariots of fire plus some of my favorite flavors. . .now I'm hungry.

Perfect. That's all, it was perfect.

Just another person who has had their day made by visiting Alinea at Home. You're the best.
Posted by: AJ | October 11, 2010 at 11:22 AM
What a cool post. I loved watching your movie, what a glorious result.
Ya know, I've been thinking about this. All the Alinea dishes take a lot of time to prep; it's amazing that they can do them for service in the restaurant. Obviously the staff are extrememly dedicated and talented to pull it off day after day.

Love it!
Thank you for making these things so I don't have to.
This was just delightful.

Carol The Best Yet....love it

Epic. That was beautiful.
Posted by: Robyn | October 11, 2010 at 12:15 PM
Really really great! I'll bet you had fun doing it too. Do you think anyone outside of the Alinea kitchen has succeeded with those mozzarella balls? Thanks for today's smile.
Posted by: Jean Marie | October 11, 2010 at 12:33 PM
I loved the video format for such a long and complex recipe. Bravo!
PS, It looked gooooood!
Posted by: Deb | October 11, 2010 at 05:36 PM
That was great Carol! You are totally nuts -in a good way, of course. Just beautiful.
Posted by: bob del Grosso | October 12, 2010 at 04:57 PM
Does it hurt? How much YOU ROCK? Because you do. That was great.
(Sorry about your balls.)

I was so enthralled by your video and crazy cooking that I burnt my pancakes!
Posted by: kristin wolfgang | October 17, 2010 at 03:32 PM
Just when I think you can't top yourself you do. Keep rockin' in the kitchen Carol Blymire!
Posted by: Jennifer | October 17, 2010 at 10:04 PM
That was RAAAAAAAAAAAD!! Way rad!
Posted by: naomi | October 18, 2010 at 10:00 AM
From someone who's worked for the man himself - LOVED the video. Hilarious.
You haven't yet, but never let those missteps get you down (the balloons took some time to get down - many nuclear meltdowns during service!)
Posted by: Hungry | October 18, 2010 at 11:08 PM
Even your failures are inspiration. TOO FUNNY. Had to wait till my SLOW internet worked. Well worth a gander.
Posted by: Nancy Polo Pritchard | October 19, 2010 at 11:02 AM
You rock! I love your older blog (French Laundry) as well. As usual, pure AWESOMENESS! Thanks for sharing.

"Tomato..." is exactly the dish I describe to people when explaining how insane the Alinea "cookbook" is. I am blown away that you pulled it off solo.
you don't have to be "too cheap" to own a bunch of rectangular plates:

For US$1.95 each, a whole stack is possible...
