Saturday night from 7-10pm is Meet the Artist Night at Artomatic. I’m working on bacon truffles for the soiree. Caramels and mints for the timid (or morally opposed). Also working on a bacon chip concept. It should be a fun night. Directions and more Artomatic info at http://www.tauchocolate.com/artomatic.html
1st local asparagus of the season June 1, 2009
Here’s a simple spring soup recipe I made up (if I can take credit for something so elemental?) (for 1 serving)
-5 stalks of fresh asparagus
-1 cup water
-curly japanese noodles (like ramen)
-soy sauce
-salt
1. boil a cup of water
2. add a little salt
3. cut the asparagus into 1” lengths
4. add noodles and asparagus to boiling water
5. boil gently for about 3 mins loosely covered. The asparagus doesn’t have to be submerged – it will steam.Add salt and soy sauce to taste. Repeat if necessary.
