Before I get to the links, I just want to share my new favorite kitchen item … my Shun Classic 4-Inch Paring Knife!
Isn’t it beautiful? And let me tell you – it amazingly sharp. I sliced a linen kitchen towel drying it off. Yes, it’s that sharp. Now I’m jonesing for the 10-Inch Chef’s Knife. It’s next on my list.
Ok, on with the links!
Cauliflower and Parsley Soup from Lucullian Delights – If it appears that I’m slightly cauliflower obsessed this spring – I am. This soup looks so good to me; plus I’m thinking I might be able to “curry” it a bit and serve it cold as a summer treat.
Blood Orange Margarita from White on Rice Couple – I’m not much for “fruity” drinks; mostly I prefer an icy cold martini, straight up. But margaritas are the exception to the rule for me and I love a well made margarita. This blood orange variation sounds heavenly. I think I might try it this weekend when we’re grilling out.
Tacos al carbon from the Homesick Texan – Everytime Lisa posts something, I start to drool. I have to admit a bit of a cheat on this weeks links list, since I’ve already made these tacos (or a variation anyway). Just the words “Tacos al carbon” makes me hungry.
Creamy Mustard and Onion Soup from Kayotic Kitchen – Kay always has some of the best recipes and I love it when she posts something that is typically Dutch. This is not a soup I’ve ever even heard of, but it sounds delicious and warming and comforting. I’m dying to try it.
Yakisoba from Mark Bittman – H spent several years in Japan in the Marines and is always wanting me to try my hand at Japanese dishes. Mark Bittman makes this yakisoba look pretty easy … so it’s going on the list for sometime soon!
Ok, that’s it for this weeks list. Stay tuned for a couple of new recipes this week (and my version of Lisa’s al carbon as well).
