What?
Well as it is in season, on Tuesday I'll be tucking into some, probably some fresh hollandaise and shaved parmesan and a few bottles of chilled Loire Valley Sancerre at my favorite local hostelry, St John's in Smithfield Mkt, home to the of British Meat industry, with a favorite intellectual muse the great train robber Bruce Reynolds, he'll be having the bone marrow & 1/2 doz Oysters if he runs to form. The wine & conversation will flow as I fondly think of you lot, 'it's what dreams are made for........8)
the cost? don't ask if you can't afford it!

Asparagus! I had forgotten about that. We will have some the week after you when we arrive in the UK for a short visit. :P

My girls took me out for Mother's Day lunch last week to one of my favorite restaurants and they had an Eggs benedict made with lobster cake, fresh hollandaise and beautiful asparagus. My girls had that but I did not, which is odd as I love lobster and asparagus. What was I thinking? :(

Ooh I love asparagus. Did some the other night in some puff pasty. I spread a thin layer of red pesto on the pastry, placed loads of asparagus, mushrooms and red onion, then sprinkled parmesan on top. Delish.
