 Re: Saffron
Cheap? did some one say cheap?
Thats how I did it. I started out with a few bulbs from an on line seed company I think it was Gurneys.com but they are all over the net. The plants are almost no effort and even if every bulb doesn't produce a flower each year (sometimes you will just get the stems) in a few years you will have enough to keep you going indefinitely.
James- add it to the to-do list of for the new house, heck out here we can even grow them in a pot.
I will second the Trader Joe's. They have a lot of really nice stuff there. Every year I send my mom (in PA) a couple of packages of the fresh baby artichokes. Mmm lightly battered and fried up yummy, they would go good with the saffron risotto. |
