As with everything, Valentine's Day is what you make it. Red roses, heart shaped chocolates, 8pm dinner reservations, and/or rigid patriarchal definitions of what constitutes "romance" not your thing? We get that. And. As deep believers that every human is deserving of love and that people should tell everyone who they love that they love them whenever the opportunity presents itself, we are actually quite fond of Valentine's Day. The opportunity is presenting itself! 

At the Foundry we are lovers of lists. Of pens and paper and of plans. Of dreams, schemes, and hare-brained ideas becoming rare-brained adventures.

With the days warming, the early offerings of peak season harvests juuuuust beginning to appear at the farmer's markets, and the golden hours beckoning us all away from our screens (and our ovens), this is the time for salad.
