I’ve always liked to visit fruits and vegetables wherever and whenever possible – at a local market, garden, farm, or in the wild-just to see who’s hot and who’s not.  A little odd?  Resultant of being sent to the garden alone with a basket for cucumbers?  Perhaps.  But you’ll be thankful someone is on top of it.  Grabbing these treats at the peak of their season and doing my best to channel Grandma Helen, freezing that very moment in time when nature is giving us its best-trust me, it’s the only way to eat the stuff you like twelve months out of the year.  What’s cool?  Knowing what’s in season in your area.  What’s not cool?  Eating a bland blueberry when it’s gooseberry season.  -Jona
