French's Crispy Fried Onions....
Which is odd because I don't like onions. To me the fried ones just taste salty, and remind me of Christmastime and green bean casserole..... (Okay, I liked cooked onions too. Anyway...)
I went foraging for fern fiddleheads (a local rite of Spring)
and then cooked and ate them. Yum!
What are they? I've never seen anything like that before, and what do you do with them, as in how do you cook them and what with?
Oh! yeah, so you go out in the moist woods in the cold of early Spring, when the ostrich ferns are just emerging from the ground, and pick one or two of the little fern fronds just starting to unroll (leaving the taller ones, making sure never to pick too much from any one plant), because they aren't too bitter to eat, when they are still tightly rolled, though cooking them is important or your stomach might rebel. It takes half a morning to get a bagful, but then take them home, wash them, and they are good many ways: boiled or steamed, or braised in butter or oil, pan-seared if you like, or my favorite, cooked in a frittata.
Fiddlehead Pie is a tradition in Maine and also Vermont (and I'd assume New Hampshire) and it's basically fiddleheads cooked as the vegetable in a quiche or frittata, either in a top and bottom pie crust, or poured like a quiche into a tart shell or bottom crust only, often with things like mushrooms, spring onions, some people use bacon too..anything you'd do with a quiche or frittata, just with the fiddleheads being a prominent filling.
They taste like a cross between broccoli and asparagus, to me.
And the last thing I ate tonight was some strong dark Choco-love chocolate. Amazing stuff, that, and it comes with classic poetry under the wrapper.
ETA: @February11 homemade tomato soup sounds wondrous, and I think I'll make some tomorrow, because it's supposed to be cool and rainy, and it would go great with the grilled cheese sandwich I had planned to make tomorrow using sharp aged Vermont cheddar, plus a slice of swiss for the gooey pull factor and buttery nutty undernotes.

Wow, thanks for that. Really interesting, and sounds quite like a veggie delicacy.
And last thing I ate tonight was the left over soup turned into a pasta dish with sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, chargrilled capsicum, baby spinach with mixed seeds toasted with chilli and parmesan cheese. Really nice!
Pizza... got a 3 pizza sampler kind of thing so had a little of some kind of meat lovers type, spicy perogy, and BBQ chicken (the best of them all). Had a slice of cheese garlic bread. And a hot fresh brownie drizzled in caramel sauce.
Haven't eaten anything since I got home after shooting hoops, but before I went out on the court, ate a power crunch bar, and since I got home, had my favorite locally-made kombucha.
