Seasonings

Our great-grandmothers knew the joy of fleeting foods.

I'd give examples of foods that were only in season certain times of the year, but I'm embarrassingly out of touch - I haven't been shopping at farmer's markets long enough to know what is in or out of season over the course of a year.

That goodness for http://www.eattheseasons.com/. The website gives seasonal food information, tips and recipe ideas. What a great idea!

I remember as a kid, eating strawberries until I thought they were going to come out of my ears. I also remember loving fresh Barlett pears. In each instance, my mom would say, "we're going to eat them while they are in season and we can get them." Or, "sorry, honey, they aren't in season anymore." Have you ever noticed that the things we get like strawberries and tomatoes just don't taste very good when they are out of season? I guess my mom wasn't so out of touch with great-grandmother on this issue.
