Well, I did it again. I missed the chance to sample fiddlehead ferns before they opened up. A clutch of them grow at the west corner of the porch and ever since I found out that they're edible I've wanted to try them steamed with a little butter and salt and pepper. I started watching them a month ago, but not much was happening. Then I got my period last week and forgot about everything. When I checked on the fiddleheads on Sunday they were all opened, rendering them bitter and considered inedible.Dang! They're supposed to be delicious and a delicacy. It just figures. Now I have to wait until next year.
