This week I picked up some morels at the market and decided to sauté them with some asparagus and green garlic in a little olive oil and butter.
So good! Like seriously good. My sweetheart took one tentative bite and then devoured the rest. I’ve made it 3 times already this week.

For Californians in search of authentic New York pizza, the struggle is real, especially if you’re an East Coast transplant who’s dying for the perfect slice. Well, JetBlue is here to ease your pain. For three days at least.
The airline has partnered with Patsy’s Pizzeria in Manhattan to deliver their pies to select Los Angeles residents. From May 9 to May 11, the airline will carry up to 350 pizzas daily to from JFK to LAX. While filling a notorious West Coast culinary gap, the stunt’s main purpose is to celebrate and promote JetBlue’s new route from New York to Los Angeles.
The promotion is being called “Pie in the Sky” and here’s how it works. Any L.A. resident who lives within the delivery zone (you can check on their website to see if your address qualifies) can order either a 16-inch cheese ($12) or pepperoni ($15) pie. The pizzas are made fresh at Patsy’s Harlem restaurant in their coal-fire oven, and then packed in coolers and flown 2,800 miles across the country. Once in L.A., they’ll be brought to a kitchen and prepped for a final delivery.
The company even consulted with a specially trained pizzaiolo (that’s a fancy word for “pizza chef”) to ensure that quality is maintained throughout the process. The entire schlep takes about eight hours, but hey, the wait is worth it if you want the best pizza in the entire world! (It’s also because we have the best water in the world, so there!)
Since supplies are limited and the offer is only good for a few days, JetBlue recommends getting your order in early. The first ones can get placed at midnight! And if you can’t get in on the pizza action, just eat a taco instead. You do those well! Or maybe top it off with a doughnut for dessert.
Oh, holidays can be loaded, can’t they? What to make/get/do for Mom on Mother’s Day? What should we cook? Should we go out? These are common questions, and these recipes will help you answer them.

You love your mom. Your mom loves her wine. Lately you suspect she might love her wine a little more than she loves you, but no matter; Mother’s Day is a perfect opportunity to repay her for all of the things you did growing up that caused her to develop a healthy relationship with wine in the first place. A bottle of her favorite is certainly a fine (read: lazy) idea, but with just a touch more effort you can secure your place as the grand cru offspring with any of the following vinous gifts, whether your mom takes her pinot grigio in a plastic tumbler on ice, is a rosé-all-day (more like all-year) kind of gal, or only drinks first-growth Bordeaux from highly-regarded vintages, but thinks the 2009s are a little over-hyped and ostentatious to the point of being almost blousy, you know?
Your mom’s tasting ability knows no ambition beyond “tastes like wine!” Her idea of a wine bar is a magnum of pinot grigio on the patio. Her favorite part of wine is the alcohol. She’s the coolest. These gifts are both light-hearted and light on the wallet.

Your mom isn’t afraid to ask for the wine list, but her refined system of evaluation is to choose the second least-expensive selection. She’s casually interested in learning what wine is about and isn’t limited by the word “dry” to describe what she likes. Also, she likes everything. She’s awesome.

Your mom won’t hesitate to go head-to-head with the sommelier. She has opinions about Russian River versus Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. She can name more Italian grape varietals than cast members of “Real Housewives.” She’s the best.
