Menu for week of May 13

Good Day Good Folks:

My parents moved to Indiana in 1954.  They were from New York and had no experience living in the country. They bought a 100 acre farm: Eddie Albert, Green Acres-style (for those of you who recall the stunning television series). They learned from the knowledgeable neighbors how to farm. They planted asparagus beds, a 1/2 acre garden, canned and foraged. Mom relished the "Art of French Cooking" and Rombauers' "Joy of Cooking". Dad hosted his graduate students for Pig Roasts (pigs bought from Aquilla Baxter, our neighbor) under the looming Beech tree and dabbled in Chinese cuisine. He took particular pride in his unnaturally tall salads and diverse antipastos. My love for international cuisine and fresh, local food comes very naturally. I try to hold those early associations with food close to my heart and convey that in each weekly menu.

With that little personal history, here is our menu for next week.
