Artichoke, Avocado and Shaved Parmesan Composed Salad
Artichoke, Avocado and Shaved Parmesan Composed Salad
A very long time ago, a friend took me to a wonderful restaurant where Santa Monica Blvd meets Beverly Blvd. in West Hollywood, California. The restaurant was called Figaro, and my friend said I should order his favorite salad. I don't remember what it was called, but I have always remembered how good it was.
Years later, when this same friend came back into my life, I told him I had a surprise and presented this salad. He was so happy he almost wept, saying he never thought he would have that salad at Figaro's again - as the restaurant had closed quite some time before.

Homemade Charcoal Chimney Starter, Burgers Topped with Cheddar and Coleslaw
Recipes in this Post
There used to be a wonderful coffee-shop in Santa Monica called Nick's. One day, I went in there and ordered something called a Nick Burger. It had coleslaw and swiss cheese on it. It was so juicy you had to eat it over the plate. It became my favorite burger, and tonight, I decided to recreate it, with a little zip.
I've been becoming very brave of late with my Weber. First I started out with Match Light coals because they were pre-soaked, and easy to get started. Then, I graduated to using charcoal fluid and regular coals. Then today, I realized I had run out of fluid, and the corner store was closed. I knew that there are specially made charcoal chimney starters, and I thought I could make one from scratch. It wasn't difficult at all making a homemade charcoal chimney starter. No more relying on charcoal fluid for me!
Marinated White Asparagus
When I was a child, my mother would sometimes bring home the white asparagus in the can. That was a big treat - except it didn't have much flavor. When I saw white spears that looked a lot fresher and nicer than their green brethren, I knew I could so a lot better, so I decided to bring them home and marinate them.
