Thyme for                         Cooking

     I think this will be the last of our slow-cooked braises for this winter.  Do I sound like I'm getting anxious for spring?  I'm always ready to switch from winter cooking to summer cooking...and back again!  In the meantime, we have an easy menu this week...   Bon Appétit!

Friday:       Egg Drop Soup 
Oriental Baked Salmon
Asian Orzo
Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts and Shallots

We're having a a German white wine this week, and it's dry, not sweet; a Chardonnay from the Kallstadt Saumagen region, Philippi.  We'll have one oh his Pinot Noirs with the salmon, as well.
