Human beings love to be busy. It’s a rare person who’s content to merely sit with her or his own twiddling thumbs.

So once the order to stay-at-home came from Vermont’s governor, the folks in Carding looked for ways to stay busy and productive.

To no one’s surprise, cooking has become a favorite pastime.

Edie Wolfe started a group dedicated to seasonal foods with recipes from one of her favorite cookbooks, Simply in Season, to take advantage of locally-grown fruits and vegetables.

This week, there’s asparagus on the shelves of Cooper’s General Store. Care to drop in tomorrow to see what’s cooking?

You can find the little town that no one can seem to find on a map right here in the Carding Chronicles and in the four novels of Carding, Vermont, The Road Unsalted, Thieves of Fire, The Dazzling Uncertainty of Life, and Lights in Water, Dancing.
