Fish fillets, on a bed of spinach and tomatoes (onions optional). Drizzle with white balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven, uncovered for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Surprisingly good. Will also work well with Italian dressing.

So jealous. Monk won't eat salmon. "Too fishy," he says. But the corn is good. So very good.

Lordy, fresh-picked, young...when I was at the truck I nearly swooned after opening a few ears. One could eat this stuff raw with no trouble. Aside from your IT freaking the fuck out.

I saw a "curry plant" at the farmer's market last weekend and it smelled divine. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this plant?
I was thinking it might be delicious on fish.

Amen. The truly fresh, tender young corn is best enjoyed as close to raw as possible.

I've seen it called for in dishes, and I do love the smell of the leaves, but I have never used it myself. Going strictly by the fragrance, though, I think it would pair beautifully with fish.

Spread? I've been perusing garden forums for mentions. So far, I think you can dry and crumble the leaves and use like most leafy seasonings.

It's been cold the last few days, so I'm making potato leek soup with andouille. My own recipe.

Hester had a yummy suggestion for you!

pork chops with apples and onions.

sear the pork chops on high. remove from the pan.

slice some onions and saute. slice up some apples, add apples and pork chops to the pan. add some kind of liquid, apple or orange juice or other fruit juice, broth, water. if you don't add juice, add a little maple syrup or brown sugar to the pan. cover and cook until chops are done. i like this with a little coriander and cardamom with a hint of turmeric, but you can do spices like cinnamon/nutmeg/clove if you prefer that.

if you don't have apples, other fruits, like peaches, also work well.

'Tis salad season and the time to taste and learn new recipes...

I had this one last night and wanted to make sure it wasn't already posted here. I did a search and saw that a few years back, Someplace talked about it in a football-tailgate-cooking-type thread.

This is not only delicious but quite lovely!

Texas Caviar (or sometimes called Texas Trash)

1 C. oil
1 C. sugar or Splenda equivalent
1/2 C. cider vinegar

- Cook over low heat until sugar dissolves

Although, I prefer to soak beans - the recipe calls for

1 can black-eyed peas
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can shoepeg corn
1/2 jar jalapeño peppers (chopped)
1 C. celery (chopped)
1 medium red onion (chopped)

- Mix together with marinade and let sit for three hours or overnite. Drain off liquid and enjoy!

I was thinking how delightful it would be to add some fresh cilantro to this!

Will post pic after the weekend!

That's kind of like Carolina Caviar, which I can eat until I bust a gut.

1 can, 14 ounces, black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
Salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Let stand at least 15 minutes for corn to fully defrost and flavors to combine, then toss and serve.

Today's lunch will be leftover home baked pizza from last evening.

The pizza dough was picked up from Moose's Tooth pizza and the toppings were reindeer sausage, back bacon, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, parm, red peppers, and roasted garlic. Very very tasty.

We went out to lunch at a Peruvian Ceviche restaurant that just opened up near us. Best ceviche I've ever had. How they managed to make octopus sweet with a texture reminiscent of the inside of a french fry I have no idea. Not attempting that soon. Will just GO there.

Did love their sweet potatoes though. Here's a close enough recipe. Mexican, not Peruvian.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 inch chunks
• 2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. chili powder, use cayenne if you like it hot
• salt to taste
• chopped cilantro

Glaze:

• 1/2 honey
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 F.

In a bowl toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil. Using your fingers, sprinkle the chili powder over the potatoes. Stir and repeat the process. Pour onto a baking sheet and spread them out. Salt to taste.

Bake for 20 minutes. Check the sweet potatoes after 10 minutes and turn them over.
If they start to stick, you can pour a drizzle of olive oil over them.

While you are roasting sweet potatoes, mix the glaze ingredients in a bowl with a whisk.
When the potatoes are done, brush on the glaze mixture and return to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

Place in a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the roasted potatoes and serve.
