    We had six littleneck clams left from yesterday. My sister in law was
    visiting and we got 18 in case she would dine with us but she had
    plans.

    So, at this morning Greenmarket, Blue Moon, a day trawler on Long
    Island sound, had a codfish. We bought a small piec, a littl over a
    quarter pound. We also bought the first ramps to come in this year,
    two bunches of very small ramps.

    The concert we went to got out after 10, so we were quite hungry when
    we got home. I scrubbed and zapped the clams, while Barbara trimmed
    and cleaned the ramps and started boiled potatoes.

    I put the clams, now open, in a holding dish and put the broth in a
    saucepan big enough to hold the small piece of fish. I put in the clam
    broth and simmered the [otherwise unsalted] cod in the clam juice.

    Barb was sauteeing the chopped white parts of the ramps and a yellow
    cayenne in EVOO. Added tomato puree. Cut a bunch of local organic
    cherry tomatoes in half an salted slightly. Put the cod in with the
    clam broth and finished with tomatoes on top.

    About 20 minutes to copletion.

    An aromatic allium, sometimes called "wild leek." It grows throughout
    the Appalachian range, and is relished by New Yorkers and hillbillies.

    We like to sautee the white part a few minutes, and wilt the
    bayonet-like greens for just a minute before serving.

    Sauteed leftover veggies from James's pickling experiment (baby onions,
    tomatillos) with carrot slices. Added yaki soba noodles and a little
    water. Stir-fried until heated through. Served with marinated
    (soy/ginger -- commercial) tofu. and gomashio on top. Pretty good, but
    I like marinating my own tofu better. The texture of the pre-prepared
    stuff is a little weird.

    I don't know about that, but you could let your ewe or nannygoat graze
    there and make some interesting cheese. :-)

    Of course we buy ramps in the City, at least those who want them do.
    Some people are put off by the smell. Somebody has to gather them and
    bring them in to the Greenmarket. That's just old-fashioned
    capitalism.

    After being really fed up with winter, we arre happy to pay for every
    sign of spring--shad roe, ramps, soft-shell crabs, bluefish (not yet),
    and fiddleheads. Also cepes, morels, chanterelles, and black trumpets.

    And, just possibly, Caesar's Amanitas. Scry looking, but fantastic
    raw.
