Monday Market Haul - 5/4/2015

Green has become an impossibly comforting color to see these past few weeks. After the months of dusty, dreary, dank greyness of everything, the refreshing bursts of green appearing everywhere, it’s like coming out of a black and white film reel into a technicolor wonderland.

Have you ever seen the movie Pleasantville? It’s kinda like that.

eggs, pea shoots, broccoli rabe, asparagus, ramps, baby lettuces, lilacs, sausage

Here I present my ever comforting haul including the outcome of all those April showers. There’s a saying about that right?

P.s. I figured out what to do with last week’s ramps. So there’s that.

Monday Market Haul - 4/27/2015

A girl can only eat so many crunchy kale salads before yearning for the juicy, crispness of romaine to then truly be brought out of the winter blues. As is such, while I patiently wait to spot the asparagus, peas, and rhubarb that spring is so famous for, the baby lettuce stand-ins are doing a bang up job of transitioning the season through.

So not to beat a dead horse, but did you also know that ramps are here? Ramps. RAMPS! I tell you.

Oh, really? Everyone else in this weird food world already told you? Okay that’s good, I can save my breath then. Because, ramps.

Happy to report that this much awaited harbinger of spring was exceptionally lower in price than the 20 dollars (!!!!) they were last weekend. I tried to restrain myself from buying more than one bunch because, truthfully, I haven’t a clue what I want to do with them. Do you know? Can you help me? Anybody? Bueller?
