First French Radishes


These are the first French Radishes picked from the garden this morning. They are small but delicious. I just could not wait any longer to taste them, they are delicate and crunchy -but they finish in the back of your mouth with a burst of heat. We are looking forward to more when they are fully mature. My vision is sliced radishes on top of homemade toasted ciabatta spread with basil butter -great to have just before dinner to stimulate the appetite.

It has been cool and rainy these last couple of days so I thought some soup was a good idea to warm us up. Potato and carrot soup with fresh ginger and garlic. I wish I could say that the carrots and potatoes were from our garden, but -a little to early in the season for that. SOON!!!
