I haven't seen any MA asparagus yet but I'll keep my eye out. Very interesting idea to serve it with a poached egg. The scallops look awesome!
It was a rainy day around here so we went in to Boston to check out the ICA (art museum). Of course, we had to hit James Hook & Co. on the way out buy some fresh lobster, crab and clams, the classic trinity of New England seafood!

pmk, not sure where you live, but I found the Hadley asparagus at Idylwilde Farm in Acton. $6.99/lb. Idlywilde is too far from me to shop there regularly, but I always go when we are heading west to see my inlaws. If you are within a half hour or so, it's definitely worth a visit.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Oh, I finally got around to using my sizzle pan again, this time for chicken fajitas. Margaritas are off camera!

This is a picture of the Thai grilled chicken I mentioned in the Thursday evening cocktail thread on the STJ forum.

Looks interesting, Anthony. Especially the soup. I have to admit that I won't eat octopus--I like watching them underwater too much!
I made a tasty dinner last night. John went to our new favorite fish market and brought home some very fresh swordfish as well as a soft shelled crab for him. I grilled and served with spicy grilled onions, coconut rice and sugar snap peas with black sesame seeds. The sauce is a cilantro-chile butter.
I make batches of flavored butters in decent sized quantities and store them in the freezer. You can just slice off the end and have a ready-made sauce for dinner. They keep for quite a long time. Right now in addition to the cilantro chile I have pesto butter, blue cheese butter, lemon-basil butter, and black olive butter logs in the freezer:

hey Becky...I don't know what the Thursday cocktail thread was about (how did I miss that) but is there a recipe for this available?liamsaunt wrote:This is a picture of the Thai grilled chicken I mentioned in the Thursday evening cocktail thread on the STJ forum.

That crab looks so tasty! I really enjoy soft shell crabs but don't often get the opportunity to buy or eat them.
Do you have recipes for your butters or do you just do it to taste? I am making butter this weekend (truly making butter, from cream) and I might give it a try since my butter will already be soft.
