Raw Asparagus Mushroom and Parsley Salad with Nuts and Parmesan from the Denver Post. Nice--it gets a 4. Served with leftover Orange and Mint Stuffed Lamb with Sweet and Sour Cabbage, also from the Denver Post. This still gets a 4.

No wine--we had Unibroue's wonderful La Maudite Belgian style beer with it.

The new recipe tonight is the Potato Salad with Asparagus and Olives from the April 2013 Bon Appetit.  This seems to simple, yet has a wonderful depth and smokiness you might not expect from it.  We give this a 5.  Served with more of the Orange and Mint Stuffed Lamb with Sweet and Sour Cabbage, from the Denver Post.

Wine: Terredora DePaolo Aglianico 2010, a great match

First, it just has to be said, we had a fabulous day of spring skiing!

The new recipes were Orange and Mint Stuffed Lamb with Sweet and Sour Cabbage, from the Denver Post, served with Grilled Asparagus with Harissa from the April 2013 Bon Appetit, and sliced Watermelon Radishes, just because they are so beautiful.  We give both of these 4s--very tasty!

And our friend Pat McKeon was up with us, on the eve of his birthday, so we finished with Molten Chocolate Cake with Caramel Filling.  Still a 5!

That is edible gold on the cake.  Because it is spectacular.

Wine: Joseph Drouhin Chorey Les Beaune 2010 Burgundy
