Trust me. You don’t even want to know how many titles I came up with for these little pots of joy. Instead of sharing all of the potential recipe titles with you, I will give you the chance to do something more productive with your 3 seconds.
Like look at this picture and wonder what’s going on (that’s exactly what I was doing, too).
That, and talking on the phone with a Spanish speaking acquaintance, trying to explain that I would be late because there was “mucho agua”. Embarrassing.
Flash flood what? I had no idea what that meant until this morning, but I guess it means water in your garage, a lake in your backyard, and neighbors leaving their car doors wide open for days.
So I did what I needed to do in this situation, which involved a lot of watching, and then I made farmer’s market pasta. I’m always useful like that.
Pasta with everything fresh and wonderful that I got from the good ole Farmer’s Market. Basil, garlic, cheese, and fresh peas. ‘Tis the season!

Most recent impulse buy from the Farmer’s Market: golden beets. Oh, dear. Ideas are welcome.
