What a weekend of food. Though, it started out with rather humble beginnings. Last Thursday night, due to me working a lot late and some unforeseen glitches we had peanut butter and jam sandwiches for dinner. But Friday was a new day.
Friday Breakfast: Broiled Toast with Ricotta, Canned Tomato Chopped Green Garlic, and some Peppercress.
Since we didn’t have leftovers for lunch, we decided to try out something new. So, the whole food-truck thing has become a popular food trend, and Boston isn’t any different. One food-truck service that we got to hear about was Clover, at some ONCE events. We decided to check out this food-truck with fresh, vegetarian, local/seasonal food. So, I met up with Theresa in Cambridge near her work for lunch on Friday and we walked over to the Clover truck near Kendall.
The Clover Truck.
The Clover Menu.
Luckily we got there early enough to snag some lunch before lines began to form.
Rosemary French Fries and Basil Lemonade. Yes, fried potato, but they cut the potatoes fresh on the truck, and how could you say no to green lemonade?
The Egg and Eggplant Sandwich (roasted eggplant, chopped hard boiled egg, mint, cucumber and yogurt, tahini and I think hummus all on a pita). Divine.
Chickpea Fritter Sandwich. Chickpea Fritters, Hummus, lots of pickled and fresh veggies.
The food was simply delicious and addictive. We weren’t the only ones who thought so.
Lines for Clover forming.
After meeting for lunch I headed down to Copley Farmers Market to pick up more greenery.
And Greenery There was. Atlas Farm Tent.
Green Garlic, Siena Farms.
End Of Days Doomsayer.
There were also a lot of people shouting about the end of the world happening on the 21st at Copley. I was very happy to know that my possible last day on Earth would include a lot of fresh local produce. 
My copley Loot! Spinach, Green Garlic, Baby Bok Choy, Shiitake Mushrooms (!) herbs, and Radishes from Siena Farm. Arugula from Atlas Farm. Red Oakleaf Lettuce and Scallions from Silverbrook Farm. Mozzarella and Fig Burrata from Fiore Di Nonno.
Ah, spring.
When Theresa got home we shared some white wine mixed with sparkling water and Black Currant Cordial from Bug Hill Farm and a few frozen cherries, while making dinner.
Some beets, beet stems, and beet greens from Allendale Farm for dinner.
Friday Dinner: Spring Greens Salad (Spinach, Arugula, Peppercress, Lettuce, Green Garlic, tossed in Salad Creme (Mayo with some salt and pepper) some of Naragansett Creamery's Bittery Buttery Gouda, and nastertium for decoration. The whole green salad with mayo thing.... my oh my is it good. The brits definitely have something with salad creme.
