These are awesome. And, they’re still a work in progress. As you can see, the ones in back were a bit overcooked. So, watch these carefully as you fry them. Stale bánh mì make a pleasantly acceptable substitute for Cuban bread in a pinch. I might even go so far […]
Lemon Boy Ruled This Year
Juliet, I do love thee.

And, Sun Gold Cherries Drops To Third By a Nose
But, really, they’re all winners.

Quick To Shrivel
By the time the third sunchoke hit the plate, they’d shriveled even more.
Love them or hate them? Neither, but, they’re tasty. And, I’d make them again. Next time, I’d like to try some very young ones. […]
These peaches were so super ripe that I didn’t even bother to remove the skins. After the 10-15 minute boil, the skins almost melted away completely. And, the tiny bits of skin that remained were fine in the finished product.

Male Squash Blossoms
These beautiful blossoms were jam-packed into a plastic wrapped container and slightly wilted. But, they weren’t bruised. (If they’re bruised, they won’t perk up as prettily.) And, for about $2 they were easily worth the minimal investment of time and effort.
I love all things Malaysian. And, this dish is one of my favorites. Though, it never comes close to the version at my favorite restaurant. But, when I’m trying to fill a craving, this is a decent substitute.

Asparagus might be even tastier cold than it is hot. It makes a pretty addition to a simple salad.
Bring salted water to a boil. Then, add asparagus. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. When you start to smell asparagus, let it cook for about […]
Early Girl & Lemon Boy
Early Girl has a sweet, savory quality that is really lovely. But, Lemon Boy has a brightness and a burst of acidity that makes it something special. For a tomato sandwich, we both preferred the Lemon Boy.

The First Two Early Girl Tomatoes
Not too big, not too small… They’re just right.
Picked on Saturday, Jun 14, 2014
With the stem on, these ripen beautifully on the counter. Just be sure that they’re close to […]
