{radical radishes}

y’all know this girl just loves alliteration 🙂

i also love radishes! especially when they are in season (as they are now) and locally grown!

just look at how imperfectly perfect this little radical radish is!

it’s been a busy start to the year over here at food and foto dot com. i genuinely have had SO MUCH going on! and we had a ton of snow where i live and it’s just been gray and wet and cold for weeks. i am so ready for the change in temps and more sunshine and planting and growing food!

it’s been far too long since i have honored my own commitment to maintaining consistent posting on my blog. i am almost at the point of removing myself entirely from social media and focusing solely on my blog. that may seem extreme, but something is pulling at me to get away from social media, for lots of reasons. as weird as it may sound, i kind of miss sitting in front of a computer. not like, all day long, but as i type this out i am realizing just how much time i spend on my tiny rectangle (my nickname for my phone.) it’s a fantastic tool, obviously, but using my thumbs to type or holding it in my hand all day long, voice texting everything… i dunno where i’m going with this… but is it just me or do computers almost seem old school now?! haha… it’s just weird.

anyway, i really do enjoy sitting down and typing out an email or a blog… maybe because i’ve always been a pretty good typer and i am getting older so a bigger screen serves me better. or maybe it’s because i feel more present, less distracted, less “influenced”… whatever the case may be, i feel the strong pull to focus more on my blog and less on those other platforms. i hope you will stay along for the ride.

apparently this post was not really about radishes, haha. BUT – fun food fact : radishes are a good source of vitamin c, iron, and calcium. they come in many varieties (this is my fav), they are super easy and quick to grow, and so rewarding to harvest during the first weeks of spring planting. ALSO – they are great pickled and even roasted! my favourite way to enjoy them is the traditional french culinary way – thinly sliced with some grass-fed butter and flaky salt on top! nom nom.
