So I’m strolling the aisles of my local IGA when I spot a sign telling me they have 3 bunches of local asparagus for $6. Not huge bunches, but fat and juicy spears. Fresh! In like Flynn as we older folks would say.
So when my walking buddy declined our scheduled early dinner yesterday, I was unperturbed. I knew what delights were lurking in my kitchen: organic eggs from my very local Organic Collective , locally grown asparagus on woodfired multigrain from Bread in Common .
Okay some folks would say this is breakfast, but I’ll call it supper. Yes I could do with some work on the poached eggs! It did rather cry out for hollandaise but I’ve deliberately failed to learn how to make that as I might end up bathing in it. Better to treat myself to other folks’ work on that high cholesterol delight. Also why I try and avoid baking… as for deep frying? I’m eyeing off an air-fryer. I’m also hinting broadly with Xmas (and Chanukah) around the corner.
And did you see my FB post about Galatis $1 artichokes?
Must be spring!
