I'm pretty much addicted to Saturday mornings at the farmers markets these days. Between the neighborhood markets in Seattle and Portland, I'm in heaven all summer long. I'll be at the Portland Saturday market later this month and, as you probably already know, it's amazing. It took me most of yesterday to put this post together, so the mibuna, dandelion greens, and sunchokes are untouched as yet. Plus, with Easter just next week, I need to work up the Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake post. I just popped it into the oven. Hope to post it tonight. Dana, thank you!

I will definitely do a post on this subject and demonstrate how to do this correctly and as humanely as possible. There is no reason for unmindful cruelty. Most folks don't know that there is a fairly easy alternative. And, as you say, the taste difference is truly remarkable. Thanks so much for saying this, Tiffany!

In that order. I am so glad you mentioned that there is a 'right' way to do it. I can't eat the cooked whole version it is horrible to me! One of the most splendid tastes in the world! (if cooked properly) Your pictures are as amazing as always!! If I were to start a cause it might be to teach the world how to properly kill, clean and cook a dungeness crab! In that order.
