So, I took a little hiatus from being here for most of the month of May thus far. Which is a little crazy, since last May, I was here pretty much every other day talking about rhubarb and strawberries. It’s pretty much the best time …
Oh, spring, you tricky little vixen. You’re hot, you’re cold. You’re sunny, you’re rainy. If it weren’t for the air being slightly, wondrously scented with the hint of rain, and the daffodils poking their heads through the grass, and the fuzz of green buds covering …

I try to not eat things like skillet apple pie all the time, I swear. I really do start out with the best intentions. I go to the store and buy dozens of apples (healthy snacks!), but in the end, they wind up covered in butter …
