A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes

Spring is springing everywhere. The bright faces of daffodils are turning parks yellow, and the trees are dropping little white petals on the sidewalk. To take the beauty home with you, stop by a florist and grab an armful of bright blossoms, which will brighten your room for a couple days, or stop by the Farmer's Market for a pot of blossoms that will brighten your room for up to a couple weeks (and cost a lot less). Sure, those bouquets are gorgeous and romantic, and if The Guy were buying me flowers I'd hope he'd splurge, but when I'm buying for myself, I want the most bang for the buck. And a pot of tulips just starting to emerge is even more Spring-like than a vase of cut flowers, because you get to watch it come to life day after day.
Hint: for extra bang for your buck, look for the rare bulbs that mutate and produce two blooms.
