Fiddle De De
I found something curious in the produce section of Weggies. Packages of "Fiddlehead Ferns". They are the tightly curled, chopped off piece of the end of a fern.
The sign said "Springtime treat: only in season two weeks of the year". "A delicacy!", I thought to myself. Fascinating! How could I deny myself this succulent treat? Aaron and I bought a package and took them home for dinner.
I started to change my mind as they were sauteing in the the pan. They looked like little curled up worms.
Well, they weren't all that great. When I got an equal forkful of fern and mushroom generously doused with garlic and green onion they were mildly palatable. They certainly weren't up to all the hype.
If you ever see me throwing something that looks vaguely like a houseplant into my shopping cart again...for petes sake, stop me.
Saturday
Apparently something I am allergic to burst into bloom today. I can't stop sneezing and my nose id ruddig. *sniff sniff*
Sneezing in rapid succession makes me hungry and sleepy.
