Memorial day weekend had its punch, not the kind that leaves one breathless but it set course for the season to come. The holiday weekend brought the birth of 5 signets. Our visit on Tuesday was brief, Mom and dad seemed cautious but much friendlier than I would have imagined.
This weekend we feature Lobster Salad stuffed avocados over Bette & Dales arugula and mizuna, radishes too. Carmine caught Aaron by surprise with her technique prepping the Lobster. Citrus vinaigrette finishes the dish. The summer is coming and Quaill Hill is open. Mizuna, tat soi and radishes for harvest, Aaron got a tour too.
