I’ve gone rogue this week, definitely am off message. Mustard Bâtons is not the recipe scheduled for today. Forgive me French Friday Foodies, never again, pinkie swear. But, I just arrived for a month’s stay in my Aspen condo, drove through a snowstorm in Utah to get here, and found my kitchen presently ill-equipped for cooking. Dorie’s Bâtons are 5-ingredient hor d’oeuvres with a sublime kick and an easy preparation. Variations, galore. Freeze like champs. I’ll pair Sancerre with these delightful strips of goodness, throw my long-time Aspen friends in the mix and revel in my own “Rocky Mountain High”. Merci, Ms. Greenspan.
Congratulations on making something this week in spite of your ill-equipped kitchen! Your batons look great. The Asparagus, Bacon & Eggs Salad is a bit fussy, however, you may want to try it since you don’t need much equipment to make it – and it is really good. Aspen looks beautiful!
Thanks. Hopefully I will not be in too much trouble! Actually it was the asparagus I was scrambling to find. For the Bâtons, I did have to run to Aspen’s City Market to buy a wooden ruler, a pizza cutter and poppy seeds. After checking me out, the clerk finally had to ask, “What are you making?”
Well, at least you’ve made an effort with the batons! If I were in Aspen and the weather was this beautiful, I would’ve foregone my FFWD contribution for the week (or two) and just indulged myself on, and off, the slopes!
Maya, I intend to do both. The Lifts are going to be open over Memorial Day Week-end!
Hey – nothing to apologize for here! Besides, those batons were not to be missed! Enjoy your stay in Aspen.
No apologies necessary! Your batons look great and should make good snacks for when you come off the slopes.
