No, but being stuffed can be nice with just the hollandaise sans the lemon. That is unless you want to go the Led Zepplin route and squeeze it until the juice.....

Re: I 'd like to share with you
I wanted to edit the previous post saw instead of sow but I'm Grand_Ma
An elderly lady on a bike stops to compliment me about my campo coltures, and we start chatting in Italian and then in friulano, she lives since 70 years near where I was born and is owner of a little wood by the river, this is approx our today's conversation,
"you are fortunate to have a wood, what do you do with it"
"I keep it clean call a man to mow the grass and crop mushrooms, this year there were less because of lack of rain, but very very tasty and with a wonderful smell, pioppini growing even up the trees"
"ohohohoooo
"
"there are wild ducks along the river I feed with corn, they make their nest along the banks and then bring the duklings to eat in my yard, I close the mother and little ones, for a while, then release the old one."
"Do you eat them?
"
"They are fine mmmmm, I call a man to do the work" and so on and on with the ducks
I tryed to make myself recognized as a citizen of that village but she seemed not to be interested in the past ..........
"May I tell your story"
"Yes, provided no one comes to steal my mazurins (wild ducks/germani)
"
"
what's your name?"
"Italie"

Re: I 'd like to share with you
Not quite white, & not quite mauve.
With stamens of gold.
4" high, a slender neck & with a delicate head held aloft & moving gently in the slight breeze.
A grey & overcast sky.
Heavy with the threat of rain.
Still, but for a ghost of air,
everything seems faded & dead.
In a pool of its own brightness
the Crocus
just, IS!
