It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha ha ha! That was awesome.
Also hilarious: I ate ramps last night.

Speaking of spring veggies, I had these hard green things in 2002 (at 59 Wall, I think) and haven't had them since, and have been wondering what the hell they were. I finally saw [link] this week and they were fiddlehead ferns! Memorable texture, for sure.

This semi-hippie kid's cookbook I have (from my childhood) has a whole thing on fiddlehead ferns, but I still have never eaten them.

Those are pretty common in Canada but now that I think about it I don't know that I've ever seen them here.

Huh, until just now I thought ramps and fiddlehead ferns were synonymous. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle.)

Just coming into season now, I think. They are a specialty of New Brunswick.
Bon, were they a little slimy?

I've never heard of ramps before I read that article.

Because books.
I feel like someone used fiddlehead ferns on Top Chef once, but I'm not sure.
My most adventurous fruit/veggie outing this weekend was a banana and some overripe grapes.

IIRC they were grilled in a salad, so I don't think so.
