Lemon cream pasta with a salad using some of the pickled redbud flowers I made.

Buried in the pasta is the one asparagus sprig I found in my garden today. Three years after starting from seeds and I finally got one asparagus. Hopefully I’ll get more. Next time I’ll spring for rhizones instead of seed.

The lettuce was a barter for goose eggs so it was free. Croutons were leftovers looking for a purpose. Redbuds practically free.

So not including the salad this was $2.52 a person.
