Although half of the U.S. and Canada are in the grip of winter storms as I put this together, Spring can’t be far away! It’s supposed to be warming up later this week, to almost “double” the temperatures we were seeing just last week: instead of highs in the low twenties, they’re supposed to be in the low forties. Not swimsuit whether yet, but it makes me think that asparagus time will soon be here! My friend Katie on the French Atlantic coast tells me it’s starting to get warmer there. I’m ready to be done with the white stuff. So I’m doing fewer soups than I’ve been putting on the menu, but I’ll continue to include soup every week or so until it gets too warm for it.
At the same time, it’s beginning to cool down a bit in the southern hemisphere. Beginning in April, I’ll have a special southern hemisphere subscription option, so that people there can eat seasonally, too. While in the north we’ll be moving into more salads, asparagus, strawberries etc., their plans will include pumpkin, apples, pears, and other autumn and winter items. If you have friends south of the Equator, let them know!
Finally, on March 15, a podcast I did with Jimmy Moore in November will be broadcast. It’s about the whys and hows of Good Life Menus. The more people who hear it, the more people I can help!
