好久都没有update我的博客了. 芝加哥的天气终于暖起来了. 整个城市也象突然从冬眠里醒来一样, 顿时勃勃生机. 我试着种的菜也竟然活下来了.
thymes
Thyme is a good source of iron and is widely used in European and Middle Eastern cooking. Although not often used in Chinese cuisine, I have learned to embrace its elegant flavor since it was first introduced to me 12 years ago. My mint thyme is thriving in the little planter box...

lettuce
Tennis ball lettuce was grown by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. Jefferson noted that "it does not require so much care and attention" as other types. Not only did Thomas Jefferson have good penmanship, the founding father was right about the lettuce!

星期一又下了一天的雨. 闲着没事儿, 在家里做了一个龙虾三吃.
