Although I like to take my bike, I drove today because we are experiencing winter-like weather here &#8211; in the 40&#8217;s and very temperamental in the rain and wind department. (At least we didn&#8217;t have pea-sized hail like we did yesterday.) But the sun was out for my stroll through the produce stands. I got beets, carrots, radishes, a leek, green onions, rhubarb, and mesclun mixed greens. That is the majority of items available &#8211; the staples at this time of year. For tonight&#8217;s dinner I roasted the beets and carrots, by just tossing them with a bit of olive oil and salt, and about 20 minutes in a 400\u00c2\u00b0 oven. I made my standby <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/2009\/05\/06\/chicken-with-pasta-and-chard\/\">chicken with garlic and lemon<\/a>, placing the chicken and roasted veggies (plus some cherry tomatoes I got from Trader Joe&#8217;s earlier this week) on a bed of mesclun and then I drizzled the whole thing with the wine sauce from the chicken. If your market has artisan bread from local bakeries like ours does, that makes a nice appetizer with olive oil and vinegar. A glass of white wine won&#8217;t go amiss here, either. Here&#8217;s to Spring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was the first day of the Saturday Market.
