Tuna Salad with Ramps, Potatoes and Philippe's Eggs
Mary Dolan picked me up a fabulous piece of tuna from Mount Kisco Seafood, so we called Irene to see about a Friday night supper. She was more than game. And she brought the fixin’s for a terrific salad, including eggs from Philippe and John.
Cedar Planked Salmon with Freshly Harvested Asparagus
We tried cedar plank cooking for the first time. I highly recommend it. Easy and delicious. This salmon was marinated with lime, garlic and cilantro. We served it with our very first aparagus crop.
