Not much in the way of hot sauce in the stores here. If I want something, I'll have to make it myself. So I usually make a lot in fall and can it. Everybody were crazy about the Habanero-Pineapple variety, so that got eaten up way too fast.

That does look good. My vegetable pusher had some fine ripe pineapples and some nice fresh cilantro. Since I have some Habanero chilies in the freezer from last fall, I made a batch of pineapple-habanero hotsauce, my favourite. Now I can spice sandwiches and stuff up for the next couple of months.

I tried this: More lemon would be good, but the mail order bride loved them. That is the thing about the german-swiss, you can't go wrong with serving them potatoes. Did a Tzatziki too, since we were going Greek.

Asparagus and gnocchi again. The asparagus season is short here. With a field next to my house and carte blache to pick what we can eat, it'll be asparagus the next month. When we did our company motorcycle trip to the swiss alps, we went to a restaurant for lunch every day. One just happened...

Canola oil os something I buy in 50 gallon drums for the saws. As clumsy as I am, it probably won't be carcinogenic overheated olive oil that kills me.

Gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce and since the asparagus field next to my property has finally found out that it is spring; about a pound of barely dead ( I picked them 10 minutes before starting dinner) asparagus. I put them in a plastic bag, added some extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper...

To a vegetarian " Spam shortage" is a fine oxymoron.

Hummous and a spinach, bell pepper smoothie with a dash of Habanero hot sauce to perk it up. Looking forward to being able to chew again, I must say.

A protein drink. That'll be my go to thing for a while. I bought a world class blender a month ago, fortunately, so once I get a bit of use back in my right hand, that'll come in handy.

I had to look up Ramps, too, first time someone here used the word. Plain old bear garlic.

I'm making Potatoes Dauphinoise. I'm out of Gruyere cheese, so I used some Welsh cheddar instead. Be interesting to see how that tastes.

Dörrbohnen fried with onions and tofu. Steamed potatoes and a salad. Dörrbohnen ( literally dried beans) is a Swiss thing. Harico verts are dried in order to make then keep for winter consumption. They are then soaked in water before cooking. The drying changes their flavour a lot...

Risotto with some Chanterelle mushrooms I dried last fall.

You are killing me with those asparagus. They cost the same here as pepper did in the middle age, more or less.

Can't wait for asparagus season to start. Living next to 2 acres of them, we eat a LOT of them.

My local vegetable pusher had some fine looking fennel, so I made fennel gratine. With rice and a salad.

I made chowder, too. Corn chowder, that is. Been feeling sickly all week, so i needed some comfort food.

We had a visit from Schweiz. They brought us a lot of cheese, so we had Fondue for dinner. My absolute favourite dish :)

The Mail order bride cooked, for once. Swizz mais pizza. Basically a polenta made from very coarsely ground corn. Spread thin on a baking pan, baked then topped with tomato sauce and cheese, then baked again. As could be said of most Swiss dishes, good and very filling.

Burnham, you were just doing so fine, then you had to pollute the whole thing with dead animals. Before someone else points it out, live ones would have been worse.
