The past week has been one of the true gems of the year
Calm winds with warm days and nights
Full on spring songbird migration
Courting ducks and loons
Eager panfish
Chipmunks everywhere
and now the bloomin' blossoms!
Taste it
Broiled bluegill with wild plum blossoms
Recipe modified from the Angry Trout Cafe
The proper recipe is available in their cookbook, but I do it like this:
Whisk together
one quarter cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of one lime (very cold)
pinch of salt
pinch of dried tarragon
Paint the bluegill fillets with the mixture
place under broiler or over wood coals
for 2-3 minutes
Wild plum blossoms for garnish
Savor this fleeting week.....................................................
