Picking the top experience of the day was difficult. I really enjoyed some barefoot disc golfing with Chris, Honi and Jared at Pier Park in St. John early in the day when the sun was out. However, the grilled asparagus we had for dinner together with Lisa and Kare at our house took the prize. Lisa bought them at farmers market in Portland, so they were fresh as can be. Check out how long they were! With some olive oil and salt and pepper as well as a few minutes on the grill, they were fantastic. Tender, savory, mouthfuls of green goodness. Spring asparagus. Mmmm.
Now I am sure the rest of our meal also enhanced the sublime asparagus experience. We started with deviled eggs with anchovies, and mozzarella with fresh basil on tomato slices. Appetizers were followed by small fingerling potatoes with lots of butter and sour cream, roasted cauliflower with toasted walnuts smothered with a lemon mustard sauce, grilled corn in the husk, grilled chicken as well as sirloin tip steak along with lots of wine from Cor Cellars, a Gorge vineyard we recently disovered. Fresh strawberries for dessert tied it all together to complete a gastronomic feast.
