So I really, really like salad. I like all of the fresh, green things. I like the crisp, white things. I like the red things with tons of flavor. I like trying dressings and seeing which flavor overwhelms the vegetables, which brings out the brightness, which encourages bitterness to just be flavor.
I like eating my vegetables. But I like eating fresher vegetables better, when the lettuce still has that sort of rubbery crunch, before it wilts in the refrigerator. When the tomato is acidic and sharp, and the flesh is firm.
One of these days, my garden is going to give me the freshest vegetables ever. If I can remember to water it.
