The first fave (broad beans) have arrived along with the first fragole (strawberries). These tender delicacies are such a treat after the long wait of winter. And the asparagus keeps on growing. I found some stalks yesterday over two meters long, snaking, entwined in the fields. And I have decided all preserves in the cupboard must be eaten before the end of April. Soon I will have an empty shelf and vacant jars, all prepared for the new season's produce. Of course I have much to learn in the casalinga department, but kindly neighbours and friends give me advice freely and frequently, along with gifts of food they have made themselves.

first fave
