RE Friday Round-Up: Radish Love!
I’m not too much into dazzling my guests with an over-the-top fancy garnish on their plate (mostly because I always seem to run out of time) :), but I will admit a simple garnish does make a plate look attractive.
My husband and recently ate at this cool restaurant, Porque no?, in Portland, Oregon, in the Mississippi District. The food was A-Mazing and we’re definitely going back.
Oh, and look at the simple garnish on the plate (above) … a radish!
Today for my Friday RE Round-Up I want to highlight radishes. I personally love the taste–the crunch, the spice, the color, the mystery–of a radish, and I asked my husband to please add them to add them to my “garden list” this year! We’ll see … :)

I realize that you either love radishes or you hate them.
Whatever your preference, would you share how you love to eat them, or why you don’t like them?
Happy Weekend, Friends! :)
Oh I love radishes!! The tartines are calling my name!
All I can think when I saw this was the “Radish Cure” from “Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle.” Did you read those books to your kids?
Now I just LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE radishes. I can remember when I was a little girl (a very long time ago) I thought it was really sweet when my mother would put those pretty little cuts fresh radishes from the garden and have them all the time in ice water on the table for our snack. Oh boy, if she were still with us, she would love this.
I can’t wait to get some good ones. I like the idea of having them with cucumbers! Oh I can just sit and eat them like grapes.
Thank you for this reminder that it will be time to start thinking about our garden!!!!
Oooh, I love me some radishes … and I want them raw , of course. Great with a green salad, and I love the idea of pairing them with cucumbers … maybe even do a radish/cucumber finger sandwich.
