It’s asparagus season and that means we’re officially into Spring eating – the most exciting tome of the year for us! Here’s a simple recipe that can be assembled in minutes and features the simple flavors of Spring.
Let’s fast forward to tomorrow morning: you’re bleary-eyed, tired, relaxed and want something serious to eat without a lot of effort. You turn the coffee on and before it’s done your breakfast is cooking in the oven. As you finish your second (or third) cup of coffee your house smells like heaven and breakfast is ready.

We made ribs on our trip to the forest this weekend. We started with a dry rub (different from the one here or here but just as tasty and don’t forget this tip) and finished them off with a homemade sauce.

The barbecue sauce started as tomato juice and the entire thing was to be washed down with a beer.

1. Create yourself a double boiler – a little bit of water in the pot, sturdy bowl on the top (oven safe and should not be in the water) and heat up with chocolate inside the bowl. I like it a little sweet – you can add any amount of bitter or sweet you would like.
