Look at the size of these asparagus spears! We picked them up at the North Market on Saturday. Don't they look like logs? Tasty, tasty logs. We had them with a nice Muscovy Duck breast and a truffle oil & lemon vinaigrette.

Duck & Asparagus

Sunday Halibut
After learning about the seafood selector, I've been trying to choose fish from the "happy" list. With a few options in mind I went to the market and found a nice wild Halibut fillet. It was dredged in chickpea flour, and then pan fried with olive oil and garlic. On the side, asparagus, peas and basil.
Fantastico!

Asparagus and Monkfish
Dinner on Friday started with roasted asparagus wrapped in proscuitto and tapenade. The main course was monkfish with almond sauce and rapini. We've made this twice in the past month — it's fantastic.
However, this dish raises an important question. Do you avoid eating things based on how cute they are? Like rabbits and Golden Retrievers for example. If so, how do you feel about eating monkfish, which looks incredibly frightening? I don't exclude cute or frightening food from my diet, but I do feel bad eating monkfish since I learned it's been overfished. Yeesh, is there anything we can enjoy without guilt?
Here's a guide to selecting sustainable seafood.

Asparagus with prostitute and poached eggs
The only spelling suggestion for prosciutto is prostitute, so I decided to go with it. This was a great meal, and it's fast too. Boiling water take a bit, but you can multitask and have a glass of wine while you're waiting. Roast the asparagus in the oven, top with parma prostitute, layer on the poached eggs and then grate some manchego over the whole thing. This would make a great breakfast was well, just substitute the prostitute for smoked salesman.
