It seems to be spring vegetables week at the food blogs. The Food Lab at Serious Eats has an asparagus-and-spring-vegetable risotto, and Chow.com has better than a dozen asparagus recipes. Chow.com also has a video on how to prepare young artichokes – just in time for Summer Tomato's recipe for pan-roasted baby artichokes. Simply Recipes had a very nice and very pretty dish of seared sugar snap peas. And, touching neatly on something we discussed during last week's meeting, Sprouted Kitchen does steamed artichokes and homemade aioli!
(I should perhaps warn that Serious Eats is also devoting a page this week to a truly unspeakable recipe for Elvis Presley's grilled peanut-butter-banana-and-bacon sandwich. Note to the Serious Eats people: flambéing the bananas in bourbon, and making the sandwich with “thick-cut brioche loaf slices … spread with butter, a bit of rendered bacon fat, and granulated sugar”, does not improved this already appalling concoction in the slightest.)
Yoni Freedhoff at Weighty Matters is very big on “badvertising” this week. Swanson's Skillet Dinners, for instance, are being advertised with the copy, “It looks like home cooking. It tastes like home cooking. Because it is home cooking.” If your “home cooking” normally include such ingredients as “hydrolyzed milk protein” and “sodium alginate”, as well as a full teaspoon of salt, that is.
I think I mentioned last week that May is National Grilling Month: appropriately, this second week of May is National Hamburger Week. Tomorrow is National Shrimp Day: grill some with your burgers. And the day after tomorrow, May 11th, is – actually! – National Eat What You Want Day. I propose the Weight Watchers expansion of this: “Eat what you want … and stop when you're satisfied.”
May 9th: National Butterscotch Brownie Day
May 10th: National Shrimp Day; Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton born, 1850
May 11th: National Mocha Torte Day, Eat What You Want Day
May 12th: National Nutty Fudge Day
May 13th: National Apple Pie Day, National Fruit Cocktail Day
May 14th: National Buttermilk Biscuit Day
May 15th: National Chocolate Day
May 16th: National Coquilles St. Jacques Day; Phillip Danforth Armour born, 1832
And to all for whom it's appropriate, Happy Mother's Day!
