Hopping into spring!

I was just in Portland, OR, where the sun decided to make an appearance, and Denver, where it decided to snow in late April. Now back in Brooklyn with its cherry blossoms and garbage.\xa0

The Highlight:\xa0

Corsica Wine Bar, a new restaurant in RiNo, where we ate mussels in a saffron-crab broth, barbajuan (crisp ravioli stuffed with ricotta and greens); and blood orange granita with cacao nibs. (Full disclosure, I’m on the board of this company.)

Home Cooking in Denver

The Food52 recipes I cooked with my sister, Rhonda, at her house:

Rhonda’s Spaghetti with Fried Eggs and Pangrattato. (We doubled it and added kale and arugula.)

We riffed onthis Blood Orange Salad—making a citrus salad with pomelo, mandarin, and blood orange with pistachios, avocado, ground chile, olive oil, and salt.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. (We made them without the black cocoa and they turned out just fine!)

A Few of My Favorite Things

New Favorite N/A Beer

Best Day Brewing Kölsch(This also received unanimous approval in ourNA Beer Taste Test.)\xa0
