On Saturday morning at the crack of dawn I woke Sean up and we headed to the flower district: I, for a good deal on beautiful flowers for my friend Ardie’s baby shower, and Sean for the photo-op I promised would be spectacular. And it was! Walls and walls of flowers!
Today, after an intense workout I witnessed a wonderful sight. Jersey City’s Farmers’ Market! I’ve been waiting since November for it’s return. And I picked up fixings for dinner: Purple spring onions, tomatoes, fresh peas, a baguette, buffalo mozzarella, and strawberries. I grilled slices of the baguette, chopped up a tomato and a purple spring onion, parboiled a few peas, and mixed everything together with the mozzarella.
Today I planted my herbs: sweet basil, Genovese basil, purple basil, Siam Queen basil (I do so love basil), dill, lavender, oregano, Italian parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme. But I don’t have a backyard because I’m an city dweller. So I used my Aerogarden, a hydroponic system-which I love. I have two.
