I saw your article in newsweek, and decided to read ALL the way back through your blog because it is so enjoyable. But when I came accross THIS, a blog entry about LEEKS, I nearly fainted. All I've ever wanted to know, and REFUSE to google: is there a leek season? I make a really nice leek/glass noodle/chicken/vinaigrette salad, and it seems most tasty when the leeks are particularly sharp. Your notes made me think that maybe I've only really ever had two nice batches, and the rest were hopeful attempts to buy the same (er, no farming in the condo). I asked at the farmer's market here, and the moswt knowledgeable person I could think of gave me a blank stare and said maybe June. He only plants onion (bulbs, yellow/white/red), and no leeks, so he wasn't certain. I left him with a stern warning that he was supposed to know EVERYTHING. He said he'd try harder next time. If you'd like the recipe, please let me know where I can send it, I don't really want to post it as it is a creation of a close friend. All the best to you during your husband's deployment, you sound like a really tough cookie! um, hi.
