The meal that was almost never eaten because we couldn’t stop cooking! It all started with a trip to the greenmarket and the idea for tacos (it was May 5th after all)… and ended with all this:

  • Heirloom tomatoes with balsamic vinegar
  • Scrambled eggs with bacon and shallots
  • Sautéed asparagus with bacon
  • Roasted broccoli with lemon and parmesan
  • Cubed potatoes cooked with a healthy sprinkle of cayenne
  • Ground beef with cumin
  • Black beans with onions
  • Avocado, pepper, pineapple, lime
  • Sour cream and salsa
  • Rice
  • Homemade corn tortillas

It didn’t end up being much of a taco night — an unfocused menu, but one that filled us to the max with enough leftovers for the next day.

I cut into this thinking it’d be a sweet potato. Disappointment ensued when I discovered that it was a Japanese yam. Nothing against yams; they’re just not sweet potatoes.

Sharing with Albert my quintessential weekday meal — broccoli with shredded pork, tofu with century egg and oyster sauce, sauteed snow pea shoots, egg fried rice. I usually eat some combination of these items at least three times a week.

Was so happy to see ramps in the greenmarket a few weeks ago, even if winter’s chill refused to completely give way to the start of spring.

A simple preparation — sautéed with bacon, topped with a fried egg — served with a loaf of truccione saré from Sullivan Street Bakery, and Old Bay drumsticks (anxiously but deliciously prepared by Ashwin).

My favorite lunch combo these days. From home: egg fried rice and steamed broccoli. From Ennju: soy sauce salmon and other items from the salad bar (burdock, lotus root, etc.)

Bought duck gizzards from Chinatown because, well, why not — they were just $2 for a whole pack! Stewed the gizzards with some soy sauce and ginger, and served with my favorite sautéed snow pea shoots.

Improvised bread and butter pudding. No recipe — just a mixture of eggs, milk, sugar and raisins, baked with a day-old baguette.

Can’t get enough of snow pea shoots - this time dressed up with some thin sliced pork and chili garlic sauce.
