The First Bounty of Spring

We've finally gotten something other than kale, chard, fava beans and cabbage and this time it come from our garden at home, not the Stanford Organic Farm! It was... wait for it... RADISHES! OK, you can put away the trumpets. Boring, right?

Radishes are always so easy to grow, so fast (24 days) and so different from the winter veggies that you have to plant them. But then, once you harvest them, what do you do with them? Well, here's a recipe, Radishes with Radish Greens and Parmesan over Pasta, that's pretty tasty. Just scroll right past those other, horrid recipes to get this one.

Did we add a Portobello mushroom to this recipe? Oh, yes.
Did we add a bit of ham? Of course we did!
Did we add a bit more parmesan than the recipe called for? Slap the 'cuffs on us. Guilty as charged.

But did we eat through our 14 radishes? Damn skippy.
