A Sparrow Goose

That’s “Lucy” for asparagus.  While visiting the Roba family in Pennsylvania recently, I had the most amazing asparagus!  Cooked to order (twice) by Sue Roba in her cozy farmhouse kitchen.  Wow!  Was it ever good — and I deplored hot asparagus, until that moment of revelation in her kitchen.

Here’s what you do:
Cut fresh asparagus spears into (large) bite-sized pieces and dump them into a bowl.  Shoot in a quick dollop of olive oil and stir them all around.  Then dust liberally with freshly ground pepper, onion powder and garlic.  Spread onto a cookie sheet and bake 5 minutes at 500-degrees.  YUM!

Squash Salad

I love Harry’s Farmers Market here in Marietta.  It’s such fun to go there on Sunday afternoons and wander the aisles picking out the most delightful things to munch!  This is a recent ‘find’ at Harry’s that Lucy wanted to share …

Roasted Butternut Squash Salad

Roast the squash, peel it, and chunk it into bite-sized pieces.
Mix with chopped red onions and dried cranberries.
Add a light touch of minced fresh thyme.
Drizzle lightly with maple syrup.

Make a light vinagrette with olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss it all.

Refrigerate.
