it's spring!

A food blogger has aptly described shad roe as "looking like something a demon would eat." She shows a picture of it uncooked here. To me, however, it tastes like spring. Slightly salty, grainy, topped with parsley, butter and lemon, and maybe with a side of asparagus, it's a reason to hope.
   I just read that the Hudson used to teem with shad—a fish that, like salmon heads up freshwater rivers to spawn—and now has none. A gigantic, eight-foot sturgeon has, however, recently been sighted in the Hudson, so there's another reason to hope.
  Also, happy Pi Day! Check your neighborhood,  for pizza and pie offerings cheap.
