My NEW Book

Although it is my habit to purchase nearly everything at a deeply discounted sale price, with a coupon, or at the thrift store or antique mall - I find that SOMETIMES there are exceptions to be made.

This book, The Vintage Table, was one such exception.

I've yet to read a page from it, but I have been pouring over the pictures.





Today was one of those days where almost every place in my body hurt. I spent most of the morning curled up under my favorite quilt with hot coffee and THIS book.
I think my FAVORITE picture is the one of the asparagus and flowers.
FINALLY. Someone has discovered something that asparagus is GOOD for.
I am only a 'social' asparagus eater.
Anyway...
Books like this are always fun for me. Vintage things by their very nature can't really go out of style. They only seem to become even MORE vintage-y with time.
And that, my friend, is a good investment.

I like the asparagus sheath for the flowers too.

In the summertime you need to grill asparagus with a little olive oil. If you get it just right, it tastes amazing.
