delicate delights

Is it true that these local beauties are only two weeks away?
If you are a fan of asparagus and live in Eastern Mass., you owe  it to yourself to give these a try. Steam slightly and they will be so tender they practically melt in your mouth.  Be adventurous and try the purple ones--they taste the same, but look awesome!

And if asparagus is on the way, then these, and these, are as well. You just gotta love spring!

A Good Egg

Supermarket egg on the left, fresh from the hen egg on the right. Can you see the difference? The fresh egg yolk is darker and plumper, and the white is clear. This is from a hen that eats organic feed and roams around outside. I have no idea how the supermarket hen lives.
