A hint for Saturday's Greenmarket


By the way, New York Magazine online gives a recipe for a salad of miners lettuce with pheasant eggs, mentioning that pheasant eggs are available from Quattro's on Saturday and that miners lettuce can be found at Gorzinsky's organic farm stand on Saturday as well!

Rainy Day Blues

I've decided to stay in this rainy morning, but if you are going to the Greenmarket, I'd recommend checking out Yuno, who had great asparagus on Friday, and Newfield Farm for beautiful tulips.
