Sunny Day Lemons
After what has seemed like an eternity of endless rain...
SUN!
A whole day of it, in fact!
And there is just something about sun flooding in through the windows and the smell of lemons that make a day feel simply grand!
Lemons to make...
A strawberry spinach salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette,
which perfectly accompanied BBQ steak and my most favorite food ever - fiddleheads!
(Its good to be a Maritimer!)
Finally, some Whole Wheat Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins!
In the end, the vinaigrette was a bit too vinger-y, there were far too few fiddleheads for my liking and the muffins weren't as delish as I'd hoped. But it was sunny out! So it really didn't matter.
I was happy.
We were all happy!
A sunny day will do that for a person!

What are fiddle heads? They look interesting, but I don't think I've ever heard of or seen them before.
Fiddleheads are the furled fronds of a young fern. In April and May, they can be picked along the banks of rivers and streams. They're a traditional dish here in Eastern Canada and are just perfect with melted butter, salt and pepper and a splash of vinegar on them!
I thought they looked like ferns. I've never tried eating them though. Do they taste like spinach?
No, although they do have a flavour similar to most greens. But I'd also say the have a unique taste!
