Bloodroot, Sanguinaria canadensis
“Spring at last! Spring at last! Thank god almighty, it’s Spring at last!” Time to be back in the woods, searching for the wily ramp and shy morel (and admiring the early bloodroot, columbine, and wood anemone).
And, somehow, get the latest manuscript off to the publisher by its due date...
Regular subscribers to our updates newsletter receive these updates from our blog, Just Served, directly -- but there is much more at the blog that isn’t delivered automatically.
You can (if so inclined) follow us on Facebook, and Twitter. You can also find links to all of our online scribbles at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner. One can even hear some of our representative blather at Roll on the Radio. Roll Magazine also published a much re-worked article on artichokes, My Cynara Redux, a tale of thwarted lusts of various kinds.
Leitesculinaria has reposted twenty-two of our backlisted (and vaguely historical) LC pieces here.
The month of May is no time for philosophizing; just enjoy it for what it is. Consequently, here’s this month’s bit of perspective from On the Table’s culinary quote collection:
Whether you take the doughnut hole as a blank space or as an entity unto itself is a purely metaphysical question and does not affect the taste of the doughnut one bit. Haruki Murakami

PS: If you encounter broken links, changed URLs -- or know of wonderful sites we’ve missed -- please drop us a line. It helps to keep this resource as useful as possible for all of us. To those of you who have suggested sites -- thanks, and keep them coming!
PPS: If you wish to change the e-mail address at which you receive these newsletters, or otherwise modify the way you receive our postings or -- if you’ve received this newsletter by mistake, and/or don’t wish to receive future issues -- you have our sincere apology and can have your e-mail address deleted from the list immediately. We’re happy (and continuously amazed) that so few people have decided to leave the list but, should you choose to be one of them, let us know and we’ll see that your in-box is never afflicted by these updates again. You’ll find links at the bottom of this page to fix everything to your liking.

Except, of course, for the usual legalistic mumbo-jumbo and commercial flim-flam:
Your privacy is important to us. We will not give, sell or share your e-mail address with anyone, for any purpose -- ever. Nonetheless, we will expose you to the following irredeemably brazen plugs:
