March Dinner on 12th Ave.

Yes, I'm a bit behind on my posts. I'm a bit behind on everything right now. But despite this busy time, we still slowed down enough to enjoy another lovely evening of food and conversation with friends. Here is what was on the menu...

Spring Asparagus Risotto
Wild greens, strawberries, pecan, and smoked blue cheese salad
Trusty, crusty bread with olive oil and balsamic
Individual flourless chocolate tarts with hazelnut mousse.


Spring is here and the garden is starting to show signs of life. The asparagus are creeping their heads out of the ground, the favas and peas are starting to stretch upwards, and our garlic patch is starting to look like a field of young corn stalks. All this means that our Dinner on 12th Ave gatherings will soon benefit from the bounties of our local spring fare. We were able to go about 9 months this past year on serving mainly things either from our garden or from other local small farms. February and March were a bit more of a challenge but things are looking up. So please do consider joining us in the coming months. It's usually pretty darn good food and always fantastic conversation.
