It is spring and am starting to come out of my winter hibernation, OK, call it torpor. At the end of the winter I just don't want to do anything.
But the slug is about to metamorphose into a butterfly (yeah I know slugs don't change into anything, and they sure as heck don't become butterflies, but I don't have time to quibble, it is SPRING).
Gosh, right now I can think of so many meals for Easter. Have not had a fresh ham in awhile. But we will be going on vacation ~ yay ~ a few days later and that may be too much a cut of meat for the two of us.
Have some frozen lamb tenderloins, teeny little things, in the freezer that we picked up from a local farmer a few weeks ago.
With some asparagus and maybe some scalloped potatoes, that sounds good.
But tasty new taters seem like they cannot be denied.
We now have a source of good scallops, and lobsters, they would be tasty.
We'll figure something out. To me Easter, Spring, renews these old bones. And I now crave the fresh foods that have eluded us for months.
Enough of those winter veggies I loved so much, no time for them anymore.
It is time to think about the garden, and the fresh herbs and veggies.
To all DCers a very happy Easter, no matter what your beliefs. It is a season for renewal and joy that all can rejoice in.
And for some reason this year I need that rejuvenation more than I have most years.
Maybe duck, yeah, that sounds good. Have not had quail in a long time.
With a salad with fresh greens topped with fried quail eggs. But gotta find the quail eggs.
Will try to calm down and get a menu.
Take care and God bless.
