Re-encountered a childhood friend online a couple of months ago. Sid is lucky enough to call Anchorage, AK his hometown for the last 25 years. This past week he was generous enough to share some of his recent salmon catch by sending some fresh Coho and Sockeye filets by overnight courier. The first result of his special gift is shown here - Baked Coho. After having been accustomed to eating farm raised salmon for the last couple of years, I was anxious to find out if there really IS a difference in taste. The verdict is in. Yes, Alsakan salmon tastes a lot better than farm raised. No surprise here - It's "salmonier". Filets were served atop a bed of couscous with roasted rosmary fingerling potatoes, sugar-snap peas and asparagus. Thanks again buddy for this present.

Bucatini w/Italian Sausage
Salmon and Orzo Pasta
Wanting to try the pasta from Pappardelle's that we bought last weekend at the Winter Park Farmer's Market. We were not disappointed. Had the butcher cut a couple of extra thick beef shanks (couldn't find veal) while doing the weekly grocery trek. After a couple hours in the oven the osso bucco was ready. Pureed the carrot, celery and onion trio and returned them to the pan so no need to thicken the sauce with flour or cornstarch. Dish was topped with gremolata - a spicy combination of chopped Italian parsley, minced garlic and lemon zest. The wine for this evening? Barbaresco (made from the Nebbiolo grape). Have tried Barolo, but this was our first Barbareco. Nice pairing.
Putanesca made with cod. Served with linguini and a mushroom and celery salad.

Inspired by a meal we ate this weekend at a local Italian restaurant, this chicken dish features fusili pasta and warm goat cheese. The cheese pairs well with the dried tomatoes and fresh veggies.
