As spring progresses, albeit slowly this year, there are still some reminders of winter out there. These are carotte sauvage (wild carrot or Queen Anne's lace) flowers, dead but still standing.
Saturday was an overall cold day. We started out warmer than it has been at just under 7ºC (about 45ºF), but even with sun out, the day didn't get much above 12ºC (about 54ºF). When I walked Tasha in the late afternoon, a cold north wind chilled us to the bone. Well, me anyway. Tasha had her fur coat on.
The market was nice on Saturday morning. I got a bunch of white asparagus, a bunch of radishes, a bunch of turnips, a bunch of tomatoes, and a pound of mushrooms. Ken cleaned and cooked the turnip and radish greens. We ate some of the radishes with butter and salt as our appetizer at lunch time. Yum!
Oh, good, you got your white radishes!
ReplyDeleteOops! I meant, white asparagus! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat was a very successful trip to the market.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE radishes with butter and baguette. If you recall you introduced that to us during one lovely afternoon. Every now and then I can find “French” radishes at our local market but they never taste as good as they did on that day.
ReplyDeleteOooh, radishes as a snack!
ReplyDeletefresh vegetables at a local market- how lovely !
ReplyDelete"carrotte sauvage" sounds so much more elegant than "wild carrot". Fresh radishes, yum indeed.
ReplyDeletejudy, the radishes are half white! They're called radis roses.
ReplyDeletebettyann, they are more often than not. :)
lynn, I didn't remember that that was your first time. I'm glad you can find them, even if only now and then.
mitch, a very French one.
michael, very!
emm, everything sounds more elegant in French, n'est-ce pas? lol.
