Oh my.

Time for franksolich's weekly foray into the cooking and baking forum, to see what treasons and seditions the primitives are stirring up.

When it's Springtime, I Feel like Cooking....(or eating) what?

For me, Hot Cross Buns and asparagus are my two favorite Spring goodies.

A long time ago, it was a Fanny Farmer Buttercream Egg. But they don't make them anymore.

What are your favorite Spring delicacies?

3. I absolutely forgot rhubarb
 
okay add that, too!

But it just does not like growing in TN so far. In New York, it grew mammoth-sized. Here, it seems to grow a few years and then fizzle.

But nothing beats rhubarb pie. mmmmmm is right.

Yeah.  Rhubarb.  franksolich just leans over, pulls off a stalk, and chews, right then and there.

4. Yum. Are you going to make jam?

Are the prices good?

All the standard strawberry jam has HFCS in it now

On a side note, the Iroquois have a special Strawberry ceremony. We kids used to mimic it (a bit later in the year like June when the berries ripened if I remember). But the little wild strawberries in Upstate NY are worth having a ceremony over...

I bet yours in California taste just as delicious.

5. I'm looking for that asparagus and I don't mean those skinny first shoots, either. I want the nice thick stuff I can grill.

I'm also looking forward to those endless fish salads, although I think I'll still cook one more pot of crack green posole before the mercury starts to climb.

7. Spring favorites: artichokes, asparagus, strawberries, peas, and tender lettuces. When I lived in the country I found an asparagus patch that had been planted long before we bought the property. I dug out my hand trowel and little rake, sat down cross-legged to weed, chopped the rake in to clear out the dead weeds and pulled up a next of baby snakes! I didn't know until that day that I could run backwards so fast without getting up. Butt cheeks, don't fail me now!

Which reminds me.

I didn't see that Mrs. Alfred Packer posted anything lately.

I hope hippyhubby Wild Bill hasn't used her for a main course.

:lmao: frank. She did say in the chicken thread that she went to the Museum, so maybe she's spending more time doing "cultural" things? or maybe her Jewelry business has taken off?

Oh.

That's right.

I forgot to check the eBay forum on Skins's island to see if Mrs. Alfred Packer's posted her latest creations.

Any mention of "Hot Cross Buns" in a DU thread....prevents me from reading any more.

I feel very nauseous.   :lmao:

It's tomato soup made from green tomatoes, pork, and chili peppers.  It's popular south of the border.

It would help if he/she spelled it right.

It's green pozole and it's basically a stew. :-)

Good stuff. Even if it makes your pee smell funny & I am told it makes something else taste different.  :lmao:

My late father & I use to grow it in Illinois. It was a tough crop..we used pickup truck loads of natural fertilizer to get the beds started..a few years later the fireweeds took over as mom & dad took turns getting sick and I was busy taking care of business at home..But every spring, up until they sold the house, we were able to harvest a couple small batches every spring. This was long after I moved out...but I loved walking down that hill to the old patch and come up the hill and showing my dad what I found...  Two days ago was the 4th anniversary of my dad's accidental & sudden death...it's been a tough week.

<<<<hugs>>>> Rob




Skinny shoots of asparagus are the best!! The thicker ones and tough and woody.

Steamed with lemon butter, grilled with olive oil, or blanched and chilled with a red onion vinaigrette.... :drool:

Rhubarb, however, is not good for you. Slimey.... :puke:
