An idea for your mushrooms, ehBeth:

We had grilled mushrooms, onion, zucchini, red peppers and swiss cheese on ciabatta-type buns toasted in the George Forman grill c/o younger son who volunteered to make dinner. Delicious!

mmmmmmm

sounds good

I could use salsa for the missing zucchini

orrrr - I've got some black bean dip and a couple of avocadoes

hmmmm

black bean dip spread on the buns ... cheese ... avocado slices ... salsa ... grilled shallots .... grilled onions ... grilled mushrooms ... then press the sandwiches in the grill!

thanks for the Idea

Tai Chi!

Talapia. Baked. Not decided if I'm going to coat. Must be artichoke season somewhere. Picked up two beautiful, gigantic ones, for a buck. Side dish of pasta. Probally, just a light garlic sauce on that. Spinach salad, with hot bacon dressing.

It's artichoke season in California. The very best.

Damn! I wish I was there right now! We can't get decent artichokes in Iowa.

Went out with the hamburgers tonight who are in town for a visit.

We went to Lai Wah Heen which is just outrageously good.

We started with

Quote:

Peking (Beijing) Duck (Two courses, sixteen pieces for 2 to 6 guests.)

First course: Whole duckling fried to a crisp and freshly carved at your table. Served with finely shredded scallion and cucumber on steamed rice crepes.

Second course: Crystal Fold - wok-fried minced duckling, assorted vegetables and fried noodles wrapped in crispy fresh lettuce leaves.

then this arrived

Quote:

Fresh asparagus poached in supreme broth, topped with thinly sliced cured ham.

and then mrs. hamburger's request

Quote:

Fried rice noodles and fresh scallops topped with egg white sauce.

the silver needle jasmine tea (with traditional tea pouring service) helped us make a dent in the meal ... but get nowhere near finishing it

a memorable meal

(with some odd photos saved on hamburger's camera)

Hope to see those photos, sounds great.

Tonight's fare was medium pasta shells with a shallots/mushroom/artichoke/white wine/roasted tomato, pepper/mild chile sauce.

I'm getting hungry reading about your dinners,Beth and osso.

Tonight I'm going to make salmon and with it I'll serve a salad of spinach, thinly sliced fennel, roasted asparagus, and parmigiano shavings. The dressing is simply lemon juice and olive oil. It's my take on an Alice Watters recipe (she used articokes) and outrageously good.

Oh, wow, that salad...
plus, I love salmon.
Bummer, salmon fishing down on the west coast now.

Oh I love melting butter, adding fresh garlic, pouring it over fresh baked bread, sprinkling with fresh parmigiano and pecorino romano, and baking until bubbly.

I feel so healthy! I just ate a huge store bought salad of mixed baby greens, slivered almonds and goat cheese covered in a blueberry vinaigrette. I had a side of fresh black cherries and blueberries. Yum!

Last night my wife cooked so we had incinerated chicken and assmushagus. At least the rice was edible.

Hey cjhsa, how did the morel hunting turn out?

0 Replies

Found about 30 black morels up north over a four day weekend, I think I was too early. Found about 15 HUGE yellow morels only a few miles from my house. I also bought 1/2 pound of mixed morels for only $10... I think they messed up on the price (usually they are twice that).

Found a TON of false morels (Verpa) on the up north trip. That reinforced my thinking that we were early. Didn't get back up north. They are still picking up in the NLP and the UP, and Canada.

Michigan has to be one of the toughest states to predict any kind of climate/season contolled activity.
