You know it’s spring when you can buy fiddle head ferns. They are the curly top of ferns and I steam them and they taste sweet and crunchy and nice with almost any dish. They are only available for a couple of weeks in the spring and they are hard to find.

I bought mine at Whole Foods on my lunch hour. The store is about a mile or so from where I work and there is a steep hill, so going to the health food store is healthy in and of itself.

The weather was summery, but not too hot, and it was the first day of the season where I caught site of that must wonderful of magical creatures: girls without bras.
