Applewood and rosemary smoked lamb kebabs on the Big Green Egg. All the usual suspects: pita, raita, hummus, Greek salad, and marinated olives and feta. Good stuff.

Itâs Kentucky Derby day, there was a lot of bourbon. A Mint Julep (or two, couldnât let all that crushed ice go to waste), Bourbon glazed salmon (yes @ChristinaM , I added a squeeze of orange juice, and I licked my plate. Thank you). Asparagus sauteed in garlic butter and Aleppo pepper. Spinach, avocado, celery, red onion salad with honey mustard dressing. I didnât have chive blossoms but the purple Magnolia is blooming and it seemed appropriate. NY cheese cake with bourbon caramel sauce and candied pecans for dessert.

In an effort to do something different with chicken, I made a Chicken & Onion white pizza for dinner. The sauce is a bechamel sauce with a little extra garlic in it. This experiment was a success!!

We had a fun time at the NJ Food and Wine Festival, at the beautiful Crystal Springs Resort, in Hamburg, NJ. We went to the Grand Tasting with some of the best NJ chefs preparing delectable bites. I couldnât get any good pictures, since I was busy eating, and it was so crowded. I managed to get a picture of a whole boar used for a delicious âboarchettaâ bite. I also took pictures of some live âmannequinsâ.
Some of the outstanding dishes we enjoyed besides the wild boarchetta were:
mushroom truffle tartellete
camel mole cannoli
Meyer lemon pickled shrimp
steak tartare tostada
chicharron arancini
shrimp and scallop ceviche
lamb lasagna
malloreddus pasta with a white rabbit ragu sauce
barbacoa taco
porchetta croquetta

I spent the afternoon at the mall yesterday in search of summer clothes. The sales are just starting so there isnât much in the way of bargains right now although I did buy a new blouse for 40% off. I went to a nearby indie grocery store after to pick up some hummus for snacks tnis week. The store owner is Middle Eastern so they have a take away counter with all sorts of Middle Eastern specialties they make in-house including hummus. I ended up picking up stuffed grape leaves to have as an appetizer and some baklava a for dessert. So diner last night started with stuffed grape leaves then I had dal and rice then baklava for dessert.

Vegetable pan-fried noodles with the rest of the Asian greens and some woodear mushrooms, and improvising with angel hair for the noodles.
Some of this early, and sushi with a friend late.

I sometimes cover and sometimes flip, but youâre right, itâs always a delicate dance with the latter. Though if weâre being picky, I do prefer the flip
