The vegetables series: No end in sight

Ok, so I lied.  I am just so damned smitten with vegetable right now.  My spring/summer challenge is to cook with vegetables I have either a) never heard of or b) have cooked with before but always cook them the same boring way and so I will cook them differently.  And I will not be afraid.

I went to the San Mateo Farmer's Market on Saturday, and while it is a great little market with all the veggies I cook with weekly, there was nothing different and unusual.  The main reason to go to the Ferry Building is because there is always stuff there that you look at and go "What the hell is that and where did it come from", but in a good way.

Nevertheless, I am going to cook beets and artichokes and spring onions different than I have ever cooked them before.  It's exciting, trust me.
