on saturday morning, we asked the man at the farmer’s market for 8 bunches of asparagus. he looked at us incredulously, but i don’t think he realized how seriously we take our asparagus eating. (there were going to be 4 of us for lunch, so 8 bunches seemed entirely appropriate ….. what?! don’t look at me like that. y’know, english asparagus is only around for about 6 weeks, so it’s important to eat as much of it as possible).

saturday was a gorgeous day, sunny & warm. charlotte declared it an “asparagus-fest” and i enthusiastically signed up for that. after hitting the market, we headed back to the flat where charlotte & matt whipped up a perfect spring lunch for their friend daisy and me. out to the garden, where we ate and drank and laughed — and that asparagus was damn good.  eventually, matt popped open some cava, and charlotte’s rhubarb-yogurt cake made an appearance, and the next thing i knew the sun had set and it was 11pm, and it was one of the finest ways that i can think to spend a saturday in the spring.
