what are you eating??

[Rosemary]

Mike, I don't know-we have only found fiddleheads out and about. This is funny. It never occurred to me to grow them, unlike asparagus. In that, we are one. A flop for me.

 

[KevinS]

... I got me some fiddleheads for the dinner veggie

I need to get over to the airport for lunch. Nancy is likely to have fiddleheads on the menu.

 

[MIke R]

better hurry....they'll be gone soon enough.....especially with all this rain

I did asparagus when I first opened my enclosed garden 16 years ago- it was successful but took too much room in a restricted area. I still have my special asparagus knife- serrated and hooked.

 

[Rosemary]

Ix-nay on the duck eggs, Andy. They all hatched! Springtime is amazing.

 

[andynap]

Hatchlings- quack quack. We had duck breast tonight- delicious.

 

[Voosh]

"Kashi Go Lean" with soy milk. I cheated. Had some creamed herring and tasty feta beforehand. Ooops.

 

[Jeanette]

We had Dinic's roast pork and roast beef sandwiches from the Reading Terminal Market. yummy...

 

[Rosemary]

We just had soft shell crabs with lots and lots of lemon and sauteed spinach. Springtime.

Thirty years ago tonight Roger and I had our first date. Days before, I sold him a scrub brush in the boatyard in which I worked. He invited me to dinner, asked me what food I enjoyed. I looked at him like a charmed snake. "Fish," I answered. Fish. So off we went for fish, little knowing my darling was a midwest beef guy. He had the sole, and I am proud of him to this day. On the way to dinner, Roger asked me if I would like to see where he lived. You bet, thought I. He turned down the road. I saw a pretty house surrounded with lilacs in full bloom. I crossed my fingers. "That's my house." he said. Our girls grew up there.

A few words come to mind. Others that are more perfect are escaping me at the moment. I'll add them later.

For now,

Sweet!

Pre-destined!

BTW, those of us who live in New England know that it is presently Lilac season, just as it was on Rosemary's first date 30 years ago.

 

[Rosemary]

Thank you, Kevin.

[amyb]

What a great LOVE story.

Like I wrote just the other day, I love happy endings.

PS I too am a sucker for lilacs.

You have got to write a book some day-I sure would buy it-hardcover please

 

[JEK]

Rosemary,
That book of yours just gets better and better. Chapter 10 Sweet Lilacs.

 

[Rosemary]

Chapter 11- how we married on August 2nd of the same year and the bride's poor mother was beside herself. The menu? Chicken salad, blueberry muffins and watermelon.
