The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the mets are winning and there's rhubarb, spinach, asparagus and fresh eggs at the markets, enough to live on. The spring harvest has just begun. I'm waiting for the rest of the dark leafy greens, those first strawberries and blueberries from New York State. There's nothing like them on earth. Small, sweet, delicious in pie, cobbler or just on the plate with some fresh goat's milk yogurt from the farm table next door.

If you can't tell, I'm a bit in love with food. My first love however is how my body feels after consuming farm fresh food from New York State. I've lived in New York my whole life with an exception of two years in New Jersey (right near the farms - I would pick my produce weekly) and Boston (not so near the farms - but I had the haymarket...it was a sad two years). Of course I am also in love with people and helping them as well as just understanding their unique stories.

This week, I am enjoying lentil soup which I made with fresh dill.  I just poached some eggs from the farmer's market. They were delicious. I am looking forward to waking up early and grabbing some asparagus on Wednesday morning as well as whatever fruit abounds. Its still just apples and pears. I'm fantasizing about the berries and peaches, alas I might have to wait a few more months.

I'm looking forward to my first group class, which is starting next Tuesday! more information about it here: http://8weekstoanewbody.eventbrite.com.
