Freshly picked fiddleheads from Fayal pond trails. I first saw fiddleheads a few years ago at a whole foods store. Well, my friend, Heather pointed them out to me on a walk with our dogs. I was elated! I hadn't tried them yet. Simmered them in water (which is what you have to do...cannot eat them raw) then sauteed them in butter, lemon juice, sea salt, and tricolor peppercorn blend. As soon as I can, I am going back to pick more before the leaves roll out into fern fronds! Hold on a little longer, lil buddies! I'm coming back!

Several years ago, not long after Rudy entered my life, I made my first batch of salsa. *Tonight, I made my first ever batch of guacamole!* Mixed with my grandma Maxine's handmixer (gracias, abuela.. Te amo mucho). I opted not to buy fresh garlic and used garlic powder that I already had. Not sure if I am going to add any of the purple aka red onion I purchased. I did use onion salt (trying to use that up... Not a seasoning I prefer, but it came with the spice rack). Three 🥑, diced tomato, fresh cilantro, lime juice, himalayan salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, canned green chiles. To be eaten with multigrain tortilla chips and perhaps on a burrito or two!

Latest development in the hungry mermaid cove: Rudy loves my yellow mushy peas.
This surprised me. And it's healthy, so I'm proud! 😱😍
