Further Evidence of Spring


EVERY SPRING I RECALL MY WIZENED HIGH SCHOOL LATIN TEACHER, MRS. LAMONT, EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF ASPARAGUS WITH A LOOK OF RAPTURE ON HER FACE. I'VE COME TO FEEL MUCH THE SAME WAY. THIS ASPARAGUS TRAVELED ALL THE WAY FROM CALIFORNIA. WE WON'T HAVE IT LOCALLY FOR ANOTHER MONTH. BUT WHEN WE DO, IT WILL BE AT EVERY ROADSIDE STAND - AND I HOPE TO VISIT THEM ALL! THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE EATING ASPARAGUS IN THE EVENING THAT WAS CUT IN THE MORNING.
TONIGHT, I WILL TRY MAKING THIS SOUP.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE MIXED MEDIA WORK OF SUZANNE SBARGE.
