Made a big pot of ragu with some ground beef from our grass fed guys, some Italian sausage, San Marzano tomatoes and a parmesan rind and the usual flavorings. Tossed some of it with some spaghetti and froze the rest for later use.

24 hours post-dental work, and I still had to have the toddler special for dinner: mashed sweet potato, creamed spinach, and applesauce. I'm looking forward to being able to chew today.

First all-Greenmarket dinner of the season last night, very plain, but very good:
Broiled bluefish
creamed spinach
roasted asparagus
salad (sherry vinegar-walnut oil dressing)
Okay, dessert wasn't from the Greenmarket:
Peeled sliced oranges, reassembled and macerated in a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice, served with cardamom-flavored pudding made from Chinese take-out leftover rice.

Friday night was not so Spring weather in Seattle so I did poulet au Riesling. There is a lot of sauce left - like a cup and a half - so I'm thinking of using it as a base for potato leek soup.

Saturday was Opening Day (boating season) AND Cinco de Mayo AND Derby Day. We watched the Derby on our friends boat and drank tequila juleps. Way to cram all the celebrations in there!

Last night Paul grilled the last of the country style pork ribs we had bought and I made coconut rice with edamame to go with it.

Bite Club was fortunate to cook the rehearsal dinner for one of my oldest and dearest friends wedding.. The large group of people came to my house where we cooked them a dinner.

First course steak tartare
Second course- scallop cooked in it's shell with a cube of bacon and a soy butter sauce topped with crispy shallot jelly.
Third Course- soft shell crab cooked in butter, served over fried goat cheese ravioli with pickled ginger beets.
Fourth Course- fried sweetbreads with cauliflower, uni flan topped with uni, sauce gribiche and pickled peppers.
Fifth Course- Sliced duck breast with grilled pineapple, seared foie gras and a cherry demi glace.
Last Course-chomeur pudding with a marscapone lemon granita.

It was a pretty amazing dinner. Was really happy to be able to do this for him and his new bride.

Deep-dish vegetable pie.

i made one recently with cabbage and hard boiled eggs using the pizza dough Alex made for the grilled pizza (it has some whole wheat flour):

The filling had parsnips, onions, garlic, leeks, carrots, and I forgot what else, in a gravy that had a touch of cornstarch. The top crust was just Pepperidge Farms puff pastry (no bottom crust).

Last night's dinner was coq au vin served over thin noodles, using a stewing hen we got from our CSA.

Last night we grilled bone-in pork chops that we had rubbed with a touch of brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Grilled over indirect heat and then topped with a compound butter/paprika mix. On the side was a watercress, hearts of palm and roasted red pepper salad.

Roasted monkfish loin and braised fennel. Thankfully the plates weren't white.

we're in the middle of white asparagus season, so lots of that. Yesterday poached for 12 minutes, with boiled new potatoes (peeled, tossed with butter and herbs) and a couple types of good local ham. I'm getting really good at hollandaise.

Today was just me, made spiral pasta with zucchini (shaved on the mandoline, salted, squeezed), feta, lemon peel and chili. Baby liked the pasta too, but she got it plain.
