One great thing to be said for this time of year is , fifteen minutes before dinner, going to pick the best looking escarole and bring it in for the freshest, crunchiest salad. I know that for most non-Belgian, this is an acquired taste with its slightly bitter flavor but for those in the know, it's the best.

On the down side, every year I swear I won't grow curly endives; not that I don't love them but the ever changing freezing/warming temps damage its laced edges making it a supreme mess to clean up. So, here it is, once more I swear I'll never grow them again!!!!!

Other Belgian delicacy to enjoy now: chervil soup! Chervil is now growing well during those cooler days and is producing its peak flavor.
