Excellant weather. Hope everyone is doing well. Snow this weekend? Again? Good soup weather but please........ First market was great. Glad to see all of you. Trying to figure out how to make myself a bit more visible. Planting is going on here and there. Trying o show some restraint since last frost date is a month away still. Windbreak is planted, soups are being made, way too many eggs. Here is one for you. Did you know fleas love chickens? Made the mistake of walking into the winter "coop" and setting up seeding flats. Spent the whole day getting eaten by fleas. My legs are itchy and not looking pretty right now. No shorts for me yet............. Hey any summer soup requests from you out there? Thinking Gazpacho, Cucumber Dill Yogurt, Vichysoise, lighter brothy stuff. Here is some shameless self-promotion and marketing. You can eat my salad and spinach at almost every restaurant in Montpelier. Ask for my salad at Uncommon Market. Asparagus is in and man is it good!! Grilled with olive oil then slathered with good horseradish, lemon and butter, bit of salt. Eating way too much of it.
