Happy Saturday. I went to pick up my farmer's market pre-orders earlier (still no word as to when the market will re-open). Some of the farmers are beginning to harvest a few warm weather veggies like cukes and squash, thanks to hoop houses - hooray! The local strawberries have been amazing this spring and I treated myself to a half dozen chocolate covered strawberries from one of my farmers as a Mother's Day gift (they also have a certified kitchen). I've gotten some really nice radishes the past two weeks. I admit, I'm not the world's biggest radish person, but will eat them roasted. I thought I'd share a link to this recipe as it sounds yummy and I'm going to give it a try: https://therealfoodrds.com/garlic-ro...es/print/9758/
Let me know if you have any other radish suggestions - you know I'm always up for a kitchen experiment. Even though it's a little on the cooler side today, it's nice and sunny, so I plan to indulge in some functional fitness and work in my yard this afternoon. Pam - Are the yoga studios re-opening in your area and if so, are they "business as usual"? The local studio did a limited re-opening this week. Only the owner is doing live classes, and she's only allowing five students per class and doing one live class per day. These are also offered as virtual classes, all the other classes are virtual only. I suspect they'll continue doing virtual classes for a while, as she has a fair number of over 65 regulars (in addition to an overall diverse mix of students). I would imagine there are many polarized conversations on social media right now. I got irritated at several people at the market pick-up this AM - people with no masks who were so close they could've performed a colonoscopy on me (uh, thanks, but no thanks!!! ). I just got out of line and stood elsewhere until they moved on. While I don't consider myself to be overly paranoid about the current situation, I also believe in erring on the side of caution - especially since the public health messages have been inconsistent from the beginning and the lack of testing is abysmal. Pat - Your DH will have a field day teasing you if you end up acquiring a whole fleet of "tampons"!! I'll be very interested to see what they say about the vagus nerve in your workshop. Here's a quickie read link to a Mental Floss article: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/...ut-vagus-nerve Margot - I thought about you as I was eating my "brunch" salad - topped with a spicy sprout/microgreen mix. I purchased them from my hydroponic lettuce farmer, as he was out of my usual Broccoli Rabe micros. Sherry - Thanks for the good thoughts, the injured person is my sibling. Long story. He was struck by another driver, has required several surgeries, will need at least two more and is facing a lengthy recovery. Kate - I agree that exercise is important to keeping a good outlook right now - more than ever. Hope all is well with Jackie.
