Light and easy to prepare, especially after a long trip home! The new cooking recipe published in the Chef’s Handyman recipe blog!
I love New York! Discover fancy places! To stop at Macy’s it’s a must. To shop clothes and many other things on sale, what a great pleasure! Sightseeing with the Double-Decker Hop-on, Hop-off busses around the city and into all the attractions in town! Actually a weekend trip is too short!
Back from the long trip home, I’m too lazy to go out for eating. After checking my fridge I have a couple of things at home. Asparagus, lemons, spring onions and bell pepper. I also have some smoked ham on stock. What about a fresh asparagus salad with smoked salmon? Another great recipe for the Chef’s Handyman recipe blog and the asparagus serial! I also ate asparagus in New York. Thinner and smaller ones, but they were prepared delicious as well.
