See, I Do Say Something Nice About Local Government Sometimes

posted by on January 11 at 11:10 AM

Who knew? King County’s web site has a guide to what’s in season here throughout the year. Locavores, enjoy your turnips, beets, and Brussels sprouts soon, because come February you’ll be looking at a steady diet of cabbage, greens, leeks, parsnips and winter squash.

I hate March. Stupid vegetable-less March. Everyone picks on February, but what did March ever do for you? Huh? Screw March.

March is all about the potato leek soup. March is good. Be kind to March.

From the carnivore side, I can't figure out why chickens and turkey aren't available year-round. Well, I can kind of understand why Turkeys are only available in November, but it still seems weird.
And for those complaining about March, most of the fruit doesn't come in until May at the earliest. :(

All those veggies are all good reasons to roast a chicken and make gravy.

@6,

I think that's your kidney infection talking, but beets do make you shit burgundy.

The King County logo is wrong. It should be a grapic of William Rufus King, for whom this county is named.

Slave-owning lover of President James Buchanan? That William Rufus King?

Rock on!
