sidHurray for the Farmers' Market! I have asparagus, strawberries, radishes, green onions and super-fresh eggs.
And hurray for it being right across the street, which is about the limit of the walking I can do right now. I fell on the basement stairs June 6th and I'm still hobbling if I exert myself very much. Notice I say 'on' the stairs instead of 'down' the stairs. I fell backward, not forward, and sat down hard. The back of my upper right thigh/lower butt is where it still hurts.
But this is a great improvement from the first few days, where I had my wrenched right knee tightly wrapped and was walking with a cane, and the stiffness from wrenching my back is long gone.
I'll be pretty much emptying out my pantry and freezer before I'm up for a grocery shopping expedition though!

Or it makes for a lovely soup when you add first some broth to stew and then a small can of coconut milk to the sliced asparagus, spring onions and black pepper. Then add cooked pasta and have fresh baguette ready to serve with that.
You can tell, I live in an asparagus region? ;D

Over here we mainly grow white asparagus which is best eaten very simply, with small new potatoes and melted butter (or a Hollandaise), maybe two or three thin slices of smoked ham. *beams*
Indeed, I like it very much,as did Mum, as do many people round here. Still, we only have it during its season. Several people put it in the freezer...well...
:D Have a wonderful meal.
