in the garden march 2011
brussel sprouts: these grow along the inner stalk. they are fantastic roasted or steamed then fried. never boiled.
fennel sits on top of the earth. i like to roast mine and eat it with salt and pepper.
this is a type of cauliflower called romanesco. it’s florets are fractal shaped. hands down best when roasted till it has browned edges. it also has a sweet taste when fresh. and when i say fresh, i mean in season or from the garden. store cauliflower that has sat for awhile has a bitter bite to it.

fresh eggs
I went to the downtown Chandler farmer’s market last Thursday after a long period of not going. It used to consist of a single overpriced farmer. This time, I was overjoyed to find fresh eggs, meyer lemons, key limes, and many more vendors. Thank you, Chandler.

king corn
I cannot wait to see this documentary. I first heard about it from Brenda, and I watched the trailer on a foodie’s blog. Supposedly, it will play on a PBS channel next month, but I am terrible at finding that sort of information. It is playing next Tuesday night in Sedona. Road trip?

blech
I have been so sick. I have cabin fever. Stuck in the house, head congestion, sinus pressure, coughing, sneezing…ugh. I am so sad because I thought I would be better today. Everyone went to the Renaissance Festival to celebrate Wendi’s birthday. I know I will still get to go, but I was hoping to go with them. I am feeling sorry for myself. Instead, I will post a picture of me at the Faire on a better day:
