We have not had a winter this year! It is mid-February and we have barely had any snow. Temperatures have been consistent with highs in the 30s or 40s and lows in the 20s at night. I posted that I saw crocuses a few weeks ago, and today I see this outside my work. I think these are early daffodils, but I am not entirely sure. It won't be long until I find out!
Tonight I am making a simple and wonderful lentil soup. It's a basic recipe, nothing fancy, but it will include carrots and onions from Mountainview Farm. We have a winter share, which means that every month for four months, we get a load of seasonal produce. At the last pick-up, I found myself loaded with carrots, parsnips, turnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and one head of greenhouse-raised bok choi (what a treat!). The sweet potatoes are a bit of a challenge. They are so filling, and the flavor is sweet and powerful. It seems they take over every dish I put them in. Oh well. There are worse problems to have.
