.sundays.

Sundays are my favorite.  Slow, comfortable, grocery lists, the farmer's market and strawberry lemonade, the smell of clean clothes, the feel of crisp clean sheets at night...


It is artichoke season and english pea season.  How much do I love dipping green leaves in garlicky butter?  How much do I love the pop of an english pea?  So, so much.


Oh, and it is time for sweet nectarines.  Like peaches, only without the fuzz and with more tang.  Like peaches, only better.


On the menu this week are dishes that fill our home with the smells and tastes of late spring and early summer.


Pasta bolognese
Steamed artichokes and salad
Spring green risotto with asparagus and peas
Nectarine, prosciutto, gorgonzola and arugula pizza
