She is currently on a diet of lettuce and water to compensate for such indulgences . . . but oh, how divine!

I noted wild boar in passing, but have you not had wild boar and truffle on pappardelle, with a fiery Chianti or Montepulciano to match? The hell with the waistline. Just walk everywhere and go eat properly. Gelato is nice, but they actually do that passably in the States, to say nothing of elsewhere in Italy. Wild boar and truffles and pappardelle are not worth having outside Tuscany in the springtime. I am deeply shocked.

I did manage to go to the famers' market this weekend and pass by my favorite bread man. It wasn't easy, though! But, I did get some wonderful tomatos. Ah, story of my life!

Yikes. I went today and spent $20. I got some tulips. BUT! I also picked up some locally made Havarti, some Kettle Corn made on site, and some locally made almond brittle. MMM...But the fun didn't stop there. After I left the market, I went to my favorite chocolate shop, where I've been spending money as if I have it for almost 4 years (the owners and I go way back at this point). The chocolate is imported from Lebanon...and is without a doubt the best chocolate I've ever had. The point of my story? I also feel like my midsection is about to suffer. Ahh the farmers market.

For it is spring, and soon your local farmer's market will be bursting with a riot of fresh, joyous produce. The last days of winter are tough on all of us, but spring is just around the corner.
