Spring is almost here!
Goodness, I’ve been very remiss in updating my blog. Here is it almost Easter. Lent has certainly flown by.
Crawfish is coming into season after a slow start. I have had boiled crawfish only once so far—prices are a bit higher than we are used to—about $40.00 for 10 pounds of boiled crawfish—oh for the days of old when crawfish was a bargain!
I have been visiting local vegetable gardeners and they seem to think it’s still a bit early to put in their spring/summer crops of tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, squash and zucchini. My winter herbs have just about played out so I’m anxious to put in basil, oregano, tarragon, and thyme to liven up spring and summer meals.
I’ve handed in a manuscript to LSU Press on wild birds of Louisiana. The photographer, Charlie Hohorst, has done an incredible job and I’ll let you know when the book will be published—probably not until fall.
Have a grand Easter celebration. My family is getting together and so far the menu will include baked ham, barbecued chicken, potato salad, asparagus casserole and lots of chocolate candy from our Easter Baskets!
