Hey it's May!
I can't believe that the first of May, May Day -- a day that throughout history has meant elaborate rites and rituals to celebrate spring -- has passed nearly unnoticed, overshadowed as it is by such looming threats as a sourball economy and a swine flu pandemic.
But it is here -- and with the month of May comes the promise that the first unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day weekend, is three weeks away!
I was a guest on Jim Buchanan's Talk of the Town on WICC AM 600 Thursday, with Lee Ganim of Ganim's Garden Center in Fairfield, and Lee told us that the first harvest of the year will come around Memorial Day weekend: the lettuce harvest.
That's right, lettuce for making salad is the very first crop in Connecticut that comes to maturation and the harvest is only a couple of weeks away.
It will mean it's time again for cooking steaks out on the grill, which brings me to ask you: if you consider yourself an expert at grilling steaks outdoors, please drop a line at tspinelli@ctpost.com. I would love to interview you for an article I am planning on the proper way to grill a steak! You may even get your picture on the new food page!
