This is Spring
I would like to introduce to you the awakening of my spirit. It's called Spring, and this is what she looks like.
Forsythia blossoms
Vinca Blossom
I don't know but isn't it pretty?
Wild Leeks . Wild leeks are so delicious, when eaten raw the flatulance is quite something. But the intense flavour of garlic infused with pepper may just be worth it. When cooked they sweeten and lose their potency. If you are going into the forests to harvest some please remember to harvest them sustainably. Only take one leaf per stem. PS. they freeze beautifully. I don't wash them before I freeze them. I wash them just before I use them.
This is such a special time of year. Please, everyone go and visit High Park in the next two weeks there are about 1000 white flowering Japanese Cherry trees that are going to be in bloom. Truly the best part of that experince is watching the blossoms flutter out of the trees like snow and fall to the ground. It is so romantic. Take a lover and a picnic, although you don't need either, just bring your child like wonder. I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!! In the timing scheme of things I am especially excited as I watch the Scilla disappear. It means that the Lilacs are about to bloom. I Love the scent of lilacs! Last year my friend Natalie and I carefully pruned a road side Lilac and brought the scent indoors. It was heavenly. Give the branches a shake, you don't want to bring in any 8 legged hitch hikers.
