Normally I need to load a salad up with dressing in order for it to be palatable. I'm just not a rabbit-food guy. My wife, on the other hand, likes her salads with almost no dressing. This one has almost no dressing, but it was so tasty I enjoyed it that way. I have one of these Kyocera ceramic slicers and it worked great for shaving the asparagus as well as shaving the gouda. And around here hazelnuts are called filberts .

Did you watch the Super Bowl yesterday? Did you eat way too much junk food and/or consume a few too many adult beverages? I bet a lot of you did. While I didn’t drink (or watch much of the game), I took full advantage of the Super Bowl Sunday excuse to eat junk food, including lots of chips and dip and a bit too much ice cream.Food & Thoughts
I have eleven (11!) tomato plants on my balcony. There are white ones, yellow ones, green and red ones, pink, orange and even black ones. Some are big, some are small, some are the shape of dates, some are very round and others very long.

Three and a half years ago, I followed my friend Adam's lead and imagined what I would do if I was given just Twelve Hours in Paris . I still stand by the choices I made then -- except for the Caramella gelato shop, now sadly defunct. But, prompted by reader Patricia's recent comment on that post, I thought it would be fun to revisit that theme now, and dream up another ideal Parisian day , featuring shops and restaurants that have opened in the meantime. My twelve hours in Paris, 2012 edition, would begin in late morning with a croissant from Gontran Cherrier's bakery : he makes it with feuilletage inversé , the puff pastry that's typically used for millefeuilles (napoleons), and it is extra flaky and extra good. I would also buy a half loaf of his rye and red miso bread , if I didn't mind schlepping it around with me all day.
