A visit to Whistler BC Farmer’s Market
Sea asparagus
I had never tried (or even seen) sea asparagus, but I loved the look of it (as well as this farmer's handmade signs). Turns out that locally and sustainably harvested sea asparagus, which looks stringy but tastes crisp and fresh, is full of healthful nutrients and is easy to cook -- just soak in clean water for an hour, then steam lightly; toss with herbs or in a salad.
