    My wife grilled some chicken thighs on the gas BBQ. They turned out
    great. Sides were some fried potatoes and fiddleheads. That is a rare
    spring time treat.

    It was a chicken sandwich and potato chips here.

    RFC eats meat like you'd expect from lower socio-economic boomers.
    It's one pig after another chicken after another cow. There's no
    awareness at all of how much damage this old-skool lifestyle does to
    the planet, let alone the animals.

    That is a bit extreme. When Aldi has sewer raised tilapia on sale we
    eat that too.

    Fiddleheads! That reminds me of a long ago poster (Kendall F. Stratton)
    who lived in Maine. He and his son picked fresh fiddleheads and shipped
    them to me in dry ice. The package labeled "perishable" was delivered
    while I was at work. Got home to find a delivery attempt notice on the
    front door of my apartment. I immediately went to the post office to
    pick up the package. They'd just put it back on the truck to try to
    deliver it again. I raced back home. Another delivery attempt notice.
    Back to the post office. I finally managed to get the fiddleheads. They
    taste a lot like asparagus. :)

    I kinda like them but I don't often by them myself. They come out at the
    same time as the local asparagus. They cost a heck of a lot more than
    fresh local asparagus. The price per pound is more than asparagus and
    those things are pretty heavy, so a serving of fiddleheads weighs more
    than a serving of asparagus and therefore costs even more. The taste is
    very similar to asparagus. I have to say this batch was a little disappointing. I will buy them once a year during their short season
    but considering they come at the same time as asparagus, taste so much
    like asparagus and cost so much more than asparagus, I am inclined to
    get the asparagus,

    Never heard of them until we went to a restaurant in MA in the 1980s.
    Figured I'd try them. Curly asparagus is a good description. Short
    season from what we were told.

    Kendall and his son picked them in the wild. They weren't buying them
    at a grocery store. It was really nice of him to send them to me.

    Indeed. It is good that someone showed kindness to your Majesty, at
    least once in your lifetime.

    I Am very glad your Highness had that one little bit of sunshine falling
    on you.
