It's lush, it's hot, and these thunderstorms keep an feeling of anticipation and electricity in the air. This week we have all the treats of spring--rhubarb, asparagus, STRAWBERRIES!--and the first hint of what summer has to offer--garlic scapes, green garlic, dark leafy greens. We celebrate strawberries in several desserts, and bring the glorious aroma and flavor of fresh garlic into our meal. We hope you enjoy this meal that walks between two seasons.

Rice and Beanly Yours,
