Thanks Gina for your flattering introduction. Yes, am totally into gardening and creative cooking. My sugar snap peas and English peas are just starting to sprout. Planted them on March 29....before the last blast of cold weather and snow. Nothing's happening in the cold frame yet. It's located on the south side of the house and on sunny days temps reach 90 degrees inside. Even on days that are only 45. Got to get a jump on the short growing season here in New England anyway you can. Spent most of the day burning leaves and brush. Found two Easter eggs leftover from yesterday's hunt. Maybe the holidays aren't so bad after all....well off to grill chicken dusted with a spicy ancho chili dry rub, fresh asparagus from the garden and roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary cooked in a pouch on the grill...
