Hi all, in our neck of the woods, Spring is coming in like a lion (purring to lull us into a sense of false security, then giving a good swipe with some razor-sharp claws) - hoping it'll leave like a lamb (the frolicking cheerful kind, not the grouchy give you a kick when aren't paying attention kind).Dinner last night was a combination of several recipes: The base of the dish was hash browns from Sam Sifton's New York Times Magazine column (FYI - the recipe says not to overcook the potatoes when they are par-boiled - I overcooked mine and my browns fell apart a LOT. Still tasted good, but the presentation was lacking.). I topped the potatoes with grilled asparagus and a savory sabayon (a Mario Batali recipe from Food & Wine - mine was less peppery). Then to make it a more filling dinner, I topped the whole deal with a fried egg. Delicious. The sabayon gave a luxe hollandaise feel to the dish, without adding the weight of a super-buttery hollandaise.
Since the rest of the week is going to be lousy, weatherwise, the week's menu is focused on comfort foods to help us stay cozy.
