The
rains have stopped and heat has set it. We’ve been over 90º for several days.
Heat,
of course, puts an end to the spring greens in our garden. Lettuce, spinach,
collards – all will rush to reproduce. In gardener’s parlance they will “bolt.”
Tall stalks will arise and blossoms will appear. All the plants’ energy will go
into reproduction mode.
Knowing
that, Dennis has been harvesting lettuce like mad. Our refrigerator is stuffed
with bags of romaine and buttercrunch, but mostly romaine, which just happens
to be the best of all lettuces.
How
timely! Tonight we’ll be eating tabbouleh, red pepper hummus, yogurt, and
homemade pita bread along with Athena melon. In Lebanese
tradition tabbouleh is scooped up and eaten with a spear of romaine lettuce.
I
like it when a cloud actually has a silver lining.
