i could dig some february tubers...
...which is something i don't believe i could have done last february fifth...but the weather has been so weirdly mild this winter that i was somewhat concerned that when i went out back to dig some up i might find them actually growing...they were not and i dug up a heaping bowlful to store in the refrigerator and the freezer to use in salads and casseroles and i cut some up and plan to fry them in peanut oil ( which i acquired specifically for this purpose to fend off further criticism over my inconsistency in decrying hfcs and yet using corn oil )...i have left the cache pit i lined to experiment with sub-freezing tuber retrieval untouched since there hasn't been enough freezing weather to warrant an attempt...the climate seems to be determined to thwart that particular facet of this seasons learning in the garden...trial and error seems to me to be a basis for cultural advancement and nobody gets it exactly right the first time...refinement as a first principle in anthropology...or pretty much anything else...i'm going to make brunch now...refine my frying technique.
