Barring that happening, I'll remember to wear a giant, floppy farmer's hat as I pick through the ever-expanding options. That sun is hot...and so is the produce now appearing.
I bought some more asparagus this week, because look at that little guy in the middle of the photo: HE'S FUCKING PURPLE!!! Cool as that is, though, I bought the spears because they were on sale.
The wheel of cheese is from MouCo, a Fort Collins company that makes only three varieties, but makes them well. Its blue tastes very mild -- not in a weak way, but in a subtle way. MouCo sells it everywhere; see for yourself.

It tastes almost like a very sour strawberry, and I can see it going most swimmingly with eggs. Fortunately, I've obtained (from a friend of a friend) a few duck eggs. They are richer and fattier than chicken eggs, if I understand correctly, but can fill in for them in most recipes. But I'm looking for a recipe that will utilize them in their most duck-like way. Or else I'll just fry one up and stick it on a big, bleeding steak for the fanciest breakfast-for-dinner I could imagine.But I'm willing to put that on hold if someone can tell me something better to do.
