Beetzza, Fritillaria 'Snake's Head' and Parrot Tulips

We belong to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), and they gave us a bunch of organic beets in  November. They have lasted us throughout the winter  and they stored very well. I had just come from the cellar with beets in my hand, and discovered Beetzza on this blog La Table De Nana and the recipe here Chatelaine. For our dinner, we had Beetzza for an appetizer and grilled wild sockeye salmon, I hope you try it, we gave it five stars. Our first al fresco dinner of the year ;o)

All you need is puff pasty, very thinly sliced beets (I roasted first), olive oil, an egg, crumbled feta and fresh basil.

We didn't stop at Beetzza :o)  The following evening, we made this balsamic roasted beets quinoa and kale salad by Donna Hay. I love Donna's cookbooks.  Another keeper.

I planted some lovely Fritillaria 'Snake's Head' 18 years ago, and they are very hardy and require no care. After all these years, I am still fascinated with the snakes-skin markings in shades of purple with a checked pattern. 
Our weather has been warm and dry, and the parrot tulips are putting on quite a show. We planted 100 bulbs in the fall and so glad we did.

I'm joining Foodie Friday at Rattlebridge Farm.
Thank you for stopping by!
