I went to the store today and only got pretty grape tomatoes, a jumbo avocado, 2 small heads of broccoli, and a bunch of kale. I looked at the asparagus, but it was only the really thick kind. I feel like I need more variety...3

@acpgee - That looks like a tasty recipe, but I think there's a typo. It says two CLOVES of garlic. Surely it would be better with two GLOBES of garlic. That's the only change I would make. Maybe I'll put anchovies on the list for a grocery run in a couple weeks. I think I'm going to try to skip this week's.5

That bagna cauda recipe is given as a modern starter, but a traditional bagna cauda full meal would have been eaten from a cauldron with everyone sat around the fire with bread dipped in it too. Eggs would have be scrambled in the last of the sauce for some protein.3
-
Or to be accurate, traditionally bagna cauda is eaten two handed. One for dipping in vegetable, and the other holds bread under it to catch any drips as you transport from communal pot to your own plate. When the bread get soaked, it's eaten too. Eggs are scrambled in the dregs of the sauce and served last.3

I've been getting a produce box from my local farmer's market the last few weeks, so glad they're doing something like this! I miss actually walking around it but they're having pick-up at a certain time and someone in a mask and gloves puts the bag in the passenger seat. There's been about 6 cars, my town is eating good! I took a picture but for some reason when I go to attach the pic it doesn't show up. This week was a variety of mandarin oranges, Swiss chard, asparagus, broccolini, spring onions, and a huge cabbage. I stir-fried the Swiss chard, onion, and sweet potato with aromatics then added eggs and cheese, it was so good and obviously easy! I was down to a variety of potatoes and onions so it really hit the spot.5

We actually still have some produce markets open near me in East London but I kind of miss selecting my own fruit and veg. If you touch it, you buy it.2

Bagna Cauda served as a starter, so without the bread.

I currently love Granny Smith apples. Roasted Chick peas are so good it's almost sinful! I love cooked spinich with lemon juice. Strawberries last maybe a day at my house. The same with broccoli.
I made an awsome broccoli and beef stirfry that tasted just like take out. ^_^ such a treat. Baked and mashed potatoes are also lovely.
Home made hummus is so good. 😄 I need to switch out the chips for cucumber if I can stand it.

Day 16 after sowing peas and popcorn for microgreens. I planted a slice of tomato in the background that hasn't germinated yet. The pea shoots are in a roasting tin because I switched to bottom watering.

The fancy veg score. Very pleased to find this stuff.

@acpgee @mtaratoot I want to come over for artichokes! I wish I had the room to grow them! I put buckets on the walkway just so I could grow Gutahs (Armenian cukes) and peppers, heirloom tomatoes are way behind size-wise but I planted them too as well as doubling my herb garden. I'd love to grow artichokes!3

When you get your stock home and realise the fridge/freezer is on the blink... yikes. Repair person on the way, cross all the things for me.

You probably want to have some of the fragile leafy stuff tonight but I would be tempted to make the asparagus.

Planning to steam the artichokes we have to dip in hollandaise tomorrow as a starter. Any ideas on a main to have afterwards? Thinking of a simple pasta such as cacio e pepe but would welcome ideas.1

Well, I decided it was time.
I cut myself an artichoke.
I cut two more for my neighbors. There's a bunch a few days away, so the other neighbors will get a couple soon too. They didn't get the first pair THIS year because last year they also got one or two (or three) big plants. Neighbors who got today's plants are getting a trio of fat, happy plants after the harvest.
Since it's been raining, I didn't even bother rinsing it. It's too early in the season for earwigs, and ants are just extra spices.
Nothing special; 1 TBSP unsalted butter, four cloves garlic crushed in a ramekin and put in the toaster oven for a while with juice of half a baby lemon added after. I want to go drink the leftover butter.

Steamed artichokes with hollandaise.

Not sure if anyone has posted about fiddleheads, but my dad recently turned me on to them.
sauteed in butter... similar in taste to green beans/brussels sprouts

I grew up eating these in Ontario and Quebec in Canada. These are immature fern heads which later become toxic as the leaves mature. I would stick to eating frozen fiddleheads for this reason. They are delicious. Similar in taste to green asparagus, if I remember correctly.1
