first taste

With a bit of hesitance and a lot of reverence and excitement, I picked this first ripe vegetable from our garden today and ate it.Although maybe partly placebo, it was the best radish I've ever eaten. The spicy flavor and perfectly crisp texture were definitely one of the best I've had, but it was so juicy - as in dripping with juice. Even fresh radishes from the farmer's market aren't that juicy! So I savored each bite slowly and found myself practically eating the leaves and stem as I didn't want to waste any of it. I believe I'm developing a new obsession - since I clearly don't have enough obsessions in my life.
