"Envy is Thin Because it Never Eats." -- Spanish Proverb

I discovered this Seasonal Ingredient Map on the Epicurious site.

I selected "March" and clicked on Idaho. I'm not sure what I expected to find, but this little window pops up and says,

"The growing season is currently dormant here; opt for items from storage such as apples, pears and root vegetables."

It might as well have just said, "NAH, nah nah, NAH, nah NAAAAAAH!!!" (...and stuck it's cyber-tongue out at me.)

I clicked back one month to February ... then January -- same story.

April looks more promising with apples. asparagus and potatoes being listed -- but -- Potatoes?

I'm supposed to get excited about potatoes? We have been eating potatoes for what feels like a decade now and ... oh, GOODY, I only have one more month to wait for spring POTATOES.

And apples? I'm still satisfied from the bumper crop last fall.

Thank God for the asparagus. (weeping...) I do have something to live for.

Hmmmm.

Let's see...

Maybe I'll select 'March' again ...

... and just mouse over and down a little bit and click on 'California'. You know, just to see?

(I'll stop blogging about this now, though. My reaction is bound to be ugly...)
