The first warm lunch of the year

Everything green that was available, in one bowl, eaten outside with a jacket still on.

A bowl of spring salad with radishes, herbs and edible flowers

The market had peas before I expected them. I bought a bag and ate a third of them raw on the walk home, which is the correct way to buy peas.

Lunch was radish, cucumber, mint, whatever herbs were still upright in the window box, and a dressing that was mostly lemon and stubbornness.

I ate it on the step outside because the sun was out even though the air had not caught up. This is the exact week every year where I decide I am a person who eats outside.
