May 27th: steamed leeks in vinaigrette

I tried out a couple recipes this week that sounded so strange, I wondered if they must be good? One was; one wasn't. First, I tried, from 101 Cookbooks: Spiced Coconut Spinach. This, I did not like and I'm not recommending. Then, I tried, from in erika's kitchen: Steamed leeks in vinaigrette. What was odd about this one is that you top the leeks with boiled egg. Odd, I thought. Delicious, I discovered. Unfortunately, I was the only one who loved it. Olivia thought it was "picy" (it wasn't) and Greg found it oily (since when is olive oil a problem?). I made the vinaigrette as per the website, so I now have a large jar of it in the fridge. Apparently it needs more lemon juice to satisfy Greg; I thought it was okay as is. We'll try it again. I'll convince them yet.

Shake, shake, shake.
