Here is a good reason for eating local. The joy of the first greens of Spring...the first asparagus. Those of us in mid life and who live in the Northeast know the seasons from our childhood foods. How we looked forward to the first yummie Spring asparagus and berries, Summer corn on the cob and Fall apples? Last night I had freshly picked asparagus it was so wonderful. It brought back memories of going to the patch on my childhood farm (my parents bought a farm house someone else planted that patch years before we arrived).
I have decided that I could be a vegetarian most days...carrots and potatoes and greens. Keeping it simple with limited sauces and added ingredients. I promise if you try food this way in a very short while you will begin to love it! Happy Spring the greens are here.
