So, ta-da!
Leafy looking pasta (which the package described as grain shaped, but the girls don't read Italian) in a green sauce, decorated with small Asiago cheese flowers. Sliced baby carrots that have been steamed, with another flower, raw snap peas, grapes and blueberries are today's fruits and veggies. Yes, the raw snap peas aren't exactly soft. But they can be shelled.
I call the green sauce 'pesto', but it's not, really. It is a bag of frozen spinach, thawed and drained, tossed in a food processor with 4 cloves of roasted garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and a handful of finely grated Granna Padano cheese. The ingredients were whirled together until a kind of soft paste was formed, and the spinach was no longer recognizable. Normally fresh basil would be in there too, but we don't have any.
Yet.
Seeds will be started indoors soon.
I hope all of you living someplace with a last frost date before the end of May really, really appreciate your climate.
