This morning I took a look in the freezer and found a half bag of cranberries and some frozen turkey stock, and given the cold, gray weather and smudges of snow on the ground, it did not seem unseasonable to bake some cranberry-orange muffins and put a pot of turkey-vegetable soup on to simmer.
Tomorrow is predicted to be much warmer. March is changeable like that around here, but even so, winter is definitely waning and spring emerging. So tonight we'll eat the last of the turkey and cranberries until next November. Marie Kondo-style, we'll thank them for their service, and turn our attention to the pea shoots, parsley, and asparagus that are waiting in the fridge with their spark of spring joy.

I love how you use the food to represent the shifting seasons. It's another winter-like day here, so cranberry-orange muffins and turkey soup sound perfect. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of celebrating seasons through my freeezer- truly, an original post! Also delicious sounding. And I can just see the spring greens of the pea shoots, parsley and new asparagus. Short and very sweet piece of writing. Perfect SOL.
ReplyDeleteThe concrete details in this post are a feast, especially "Marie Kondo-style, we'll thank them for their service, and turn our attention to the pea shoots, parsley, and asparagus that are waiting in the fridge with their spark of spring joy." Very nice writing.
ReplyDeleteTurkey soup and cranberry muffins sound yummy! I need to Marie Kondo the fridge!
ReplyDeleteI never thought to thank my food for their service, but this is a brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteLooking at the changing seasons by looking at the food in your freezer...I never thought of that! Clever! ~JudyK :-)
