Little leeks
Ronna Welsh
Little leeks have arrived, full of jollity, bantering like old friends. Actually, they are the otherwise confined and isolated, inner part of tough, extra large leek leaves, reunited for a brief moment, before leeks retire for spring.
Blanched in salted water, the little leeks are just sturdy enough to stir a Bloody Mary, but turn tender like steamed asparagus.
The apple, an eager sidekick, for perspective. 🍎
