With four of us at the table this past Sunday night, it was nice to be able to offer so pleasing a menu: salmon croquettes with chili-garlic-lime aïoli, along with some roasted asparagus and the last of my Caesar salad. Ready promptly at 6 o'clock, and we eagerly took our seats, the croquettes were nicely seared and invited generous slathers of the aïoli. After a short respite post-dinnertime, it seems we all still found room for the last of the previous evening's lemon bars, which some savored slowly and others gulped in big bites.
