White Park Steak (Lucky George) with Asparagus with Crumbled Bacon (or seared Prosciutto) and Balsamic Vinegar (or not)

Remember, Shannon doesn't particularly like steak, even strip steak.  Certainly a nice buttery flavor of the steak, clearly Lucky George is trying to find the right breed for their farm.  I liked how the roasted asparagus turned out as well.  I ended up just using crumbled bacon.

Roasted Green Garlic pesto w/ toast and and egg on it (stealing from Brett right here)

Salt + green garlic tossed in olive oil, roasted, then pureed with olive oil.  Then I took a side path, and decided to make burgers instead.  Pretzel buns + 15 Fields Irish Cheddar + bacon + hamburger fried in bacon fat + Green Garlic Pesto.  Good stuffs.  That turned out great.  Admittedly I was thinking about it for a good chunk of the day.

Ramp & Sausage Risotto

Ramps!  Yay!  I made extra so Shannon could have risotto leftovers, cause I almost never make risotto anymore.

Quinoa Pilaf with Scallions and Saucisson Sec (reference)

I made it to spicy.  I used jalepeno pepper powder, and just added to much.  My apologies to my wife.  That being said, I'm enoying the leftovers.  I like how filling Quinoa is.
