Spring foods 2012

Creamy chickpea and tahini casserole.

Fat Tuesday buns - Laskiaispullia by grandmother and Matilda

This year I didn't feel like baking on Fat Tuesday. Luckily I wasn't the only one with the craving for these traditional buns with almond paste and cream.

Cream of asparagus soup

or that's what the recipe said; I threw in all kinds of bits and ends from the fridge like potato and celery that were about to go bad.

Spinach soup

Spinach soup always makes me think of spring, and now there's no denying it with temps getting into the 70s. I wish I had nettles on hand to pick, it's been years since I had nettle soup.

Spring feast

Both our mothers came to visit the newborn twins in May. Lee made a spring salad from our garden.
