Is it Spring yet?
Oh my goodness, I’m sitting here at 7:30 in the morning and it’s still dark. It snowed yesterday and now its 8 oF. On a plus note it looks like it should be 60 tomorrow – huh?

Start by cutting off a piece and trying a little bit raw – tastes a lot like cauliflower! So you can cook it anyway you would use cauliflower. I like to eat this raw. That isContinue reading “Romanesco… how do I eat that?”
