It’s supposed to be spring, right? Sure doesn’t feel like it.

I’ve been trying to cope with all the wintry weather we’ve been having. This has been the worst winter I’ve experienced in the past 25 years. And from what I hear, it doesn’t look good in the years to come thanks to the twin joys of global warming and climate change.

In the meantime, I’m counting down the days until the first green things appear at market. I don’t know about you, but I’m REALLY sick of root vegetables, long-simmered soups and stews.
