(laugh!) I thought, that Marsha is a woman of few words.

I also bought some fiddleheads for the first time.

I saw them in the market a few days ago, maybe I'll pick some up
next time. Wicked expensive, I won't get a whole lot. Thanks for
the idea.

Yesterday was cold and damp but there is something about seeing the first
local greens of spring that reminds us that summer peaches are just around
the corner :-)

Yeah, I noticed the farmers market nearby is opening this weekend.
Spring has officially sprung, ain't it great?

I went to my favourite market vender yesterday and discovered the first
locally grown asparagus of the season, large bunches and pencil thin so
supper tonight is asparagus omelette, followed by the Honey Mangos I also
bought. I think I will have the rest of the asparagus tomorrow with some
sort of rice dish.

I also bought some fiddleheads for the first time. They were already
cleaned so I rinsed them well, steamed them and served them up with lemon
butter. Wasn't sure what to expect but they were interesting and worth
another try. At the same vendor I found some baseball sized artichokes that
I'm thinking about stuffing with something breadcrumb and spicy and baking
in the oven.

I'm about to launder a bunch of towels, empty the dishwasher, and take the
recycling boxes to the curb.

I understand fiddleheads are a fern.
What are the odds of growing them?
Are the a specific species or will boston ferns work?

Yikes, I love the autumn, winter not so much. However, winter
food is good, too. Luckily.

They are a specific type of fern - the ostrish fern - and they grow in the
northeast (primarily in the Maine area). They have to be picked very young
before the ferns unfurl from their "fiddle head" shape. They taste a bit
like asparagus.

I remember the entire scenario... but I didn't know there was a
"funny" story to accompany it. Please publish!
