matt: I must admit that I ate quite a few raw while I was shelling them. See you at the market…

Mrs. G: You can buy sungold starts at the Ballard market. Then you just have to hope that we get enough summer for them to bear some happiness.

sophie: Are you going to T’afia? I haven’t yet eaten there, but hope to next time I’m in town. I look forward to hearing about it!

abooc: Thanks for the suggestion; I’ve never tried radishes cooked.

An easy way to eat radishes is to sautee halves or quarters in butter for about 12 minutes (esp nice with French breakfast radishes). At the last minute, add roughly chopped radish greens and a few tablespoons of chopped chives, salt and pepper to taste. So good and very unique. Right now I’ve been slicing them very thin, chopping up some radish greens, and mixing them with some good butter and spreading it onto fresh bread. I add just a pinch of sea salt and pepper. The sandwiches have a very refreshing and sharp flavor.

Glad you got some happiness tomatoes. It’s a bad week for tomatoes in Texas. Thursday night we are going to a restaurant that focuses on using local foods. THe menu changes daily based on what is available. I’ll let you know how it is!

I love radishes too. I love that little spicy bite. How do I get my hands on some of those happiness tomatoes?

A small world isn’t it! I had fun chatting with you at the farmers market. Dearie ended up shelling the peas – she likes doing it. I sure as heck wasn’t going to let Dad near them, he is a hound for raw peas – as you noticed!

Hope to you see you there again soon!
