Cooking Out Of The Box

No, it isn’t the sighting of the first Robin that makes me believe that spring is here.  Robins foolishly come back to Wisconsin long before the last snow storm.

Instead, it is news that the Dane County Farmers Market will move from its Winter home at the Convention Center, and return to its rightful home on the capital square.  This pivitol event happens on Saturday, April 19, 2008.  Now, we all know that there will be very little in the way of real, fresh product.  It’s still April in Wisconsin, for Chrimeny Sake.  We may be nuts to live here, but we are not delusional and we can face the truth.

It doesn’t matter though.  We’ll out on our long johns, parkas, mittens and boots, and hike the square cheerfuly, pretending, like the robins, that spring really is here, even if it did snow today.
