With spring, there are many firsts.
There are the first shoots of green grass, tulips and daffodils. There’s the first round of major yard clean up, which in my case involves many, many tree branches that crashed to the ground from the weight of heavy snow.
This will likely result in my first backache.
And the other day I saw my first ladybug!
The tiny little gal was hanging on for dear life on the edge of some concrete at the local CVS – straddled between the parking lot and the sidewalk – not a good place for a ladybug to be.
I spotted her somehow, just a tiny red speck, and as I held out my thumb, she jumped right on top.
I helped her tumble off into the safety of the nearby bushes, and walked back to my car feeling pretty good about myself.
Later that day I went to lunch with my Mom, and when she went to the restroom, I ate most of her french fries. First time this calendar year, I’ll have you know 🙂
This vegetarian recipe came to me when there was “nothing to eat” in the house, and the combination is dead simple – small yellow potatoes are roasted in olive oil and finished with Parmesan cheese.
Broccolini – a vegetable similar to broccoli with smaller flowers and stalks – go in the oven too. The edges get hot and crispy and this is a very good thing.
The roasted potatoes with Parmesan melt in your mouth, and the broccolini is crisp and fresh. Pull the whole thing together with a drizzle of light and lemony mustard sauce and you’re all set.
As I’m sitting here telling you about it, I going to get in my kitchen and make it again – it’s the perfect light dinner for spring.
