Break off woody bases where asparagus spears snap easily; scrape off scales if you like. Wash and set aside.
In a 3 to 4 quart Dutch oven, combine 8 cups water and the salt. Bring to boiling. Meanwhile, in a large, bowl, combine 8 cups cold water and the ice cubes.
To blanch, carefully add asparagus to boiling water; cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until just crisp-tender. Cool quickly by plunging asparagus into ice water; drain. Set aside.
For poached eggs; lightly grease a 10 inch skillet. Fill the skillet halfway with water; add white vinegar. Bring water to boiling; reduce heat to simmer (bubbles should begin to break the surface of the water). Break one of the eggs into a one cup measuring cup with a handle. Holding the lip of the cup as close to the water as possible, carefully slide egg into simmering water, taking care to not break the egg. Repeat with remaining eggs, allowing each egg an equal amount of space.
Simmer eggs, uncovered, six minutes or until the yolks are just set. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Season eggs with salt and ground black pepper. Slice eggs lengthwise; set aside.
To serve, place four spears across four plates, divide radishes and egg slices among plates. Top each with some crumbled cheese. Drizzle with walnut vinaigrette. Makes four servings.
The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund recently donated $1000.00 to the Nishna Valley Family YMCA’s 2013 Partnership with Youth Campaign as Chairman’s Roundtable Members.
This is the 4th year the fund has supported the YMCA. The fund was named in honor of Atlantic graduate, 21-year old Frederickson, who lost his life during a Council Bluffs apartment fire in 2009.

A cold front will move into the state from the northwest this afternoon and evening. Very warm air will push temperatures into the 80s over the southeast half of the state, with 70s over much of the rest of the state. The far northwest will only reach the 60s. Thunderstorms are expected to develop along the cold front late this afternoon and tonight. The front will stall across southeast Iowa on Wednesday with rain continuing through the next few days. Cold air spilling into the central U.S. will change the rain to snow over much of northwest and central Iowa Thursday and Thursday night. (NWS/Des Moines)
Nominations will be accepted beginning tomorrow (Wednesday) for the 11th annual Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin contest. Ron Birkenholz is with the Iowa Pork Producers Association, which sponsors the contest.
“Any restaurant, cafe, tavern…you know, anyone who serves a breaded pork tenderloin is eligible to be nominated,” Birkenholz says. “We encourage tenderloin lovers to get their nominations in on May 1st.” In addition to statewide publicity, the winner of the contest receives a plaque and $500.
“All the past winners have always told us they see a major influx of business,” Birkenholz says. “We’ve got people from all over the Midwest who follow this contest. We’ve had people from Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri go to these restaurants that win to try (their pork tenderloin).” Iowans who want to submit a nomination can do so online at www.IowaPork.org. Entries are due by June 11.
Last year, Iowans submitted a record 993 nominations naming 65 restaurants. Judges visited the restaurants and ultimately chose Breitbach’s Country Dining in Balltown as the 2013 winner of “Iowa’s Best Breaded Pork Tenderloin.” The winner of this year’s contest will be named in October, which is “Pork Month.” The winner of “Iowa’s Best Burger Contest” will revealed this Thursday. That competition is sponsored by the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association and the Iowa Beef Industry Council.
