Two days this week I had lemon mayonnaise with asparagus. The last time for lunch I had it with sardines in olive oil and Swedish rye crisps. I can imagine it as the dressing for a fish salad or a classic French Grand Aioli.
 
In a bowl, mix to taste:  mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, ponzu sauce, Shio koji or MSG or salt. Salty fish eggs of all kinds or snipped seaweed strips would be nice as garnish.

I’m in the home stretch of something important. I’m not going to be writing here weekly. When food books or cookbooks interest me, I will write about them. There’s a cookbook on its way to me that I’m excited about. I’ll cook from it for a bit first.
 
I’ve been learning to tell longer stories and want to practice it more. There’s one at the top of my To Do pile. I hope to post those attached to a subscription of some sort when they are ready. I also have some good ideas around teaching. All in good time.

“The only thing that matters is what is on this page.” Robert Caro. Turn Every Page is a documentary that delivers lessons of the highest order.
 
Where you will find me on a hot, humid summer night is in the kitchen with a stock pot of water boiling on the stove and wiping sweat from my eyes. Someone brought me a bunch of rhubarb this week and I turned it into a few jars of jam. I like small batch production. This is a favourite to enter the jam-making season — rhubarb, honey, and rosemary — from Christine Ferber.
