Yes, I am talking about the producer of saffron. As I have mentioned before, I like growing things, especially things that produce something pleasing to the taste buds. A few months ago, I decided to plant some Crocus Sativus bulbs and try my hand at harvesting some saffron. Pictured above is one of the results. Yesterday morning, I harvested the saffron contained in the red stamens and dried them for future use. I don't expect to ever get a high yield, but hopefully enough to make a few dishes every once in awhile. I can practically taste the lamb kabobs with grilled veggies over top some saffron rice...of course, maybe that is because I had that for dinner on Friday, Yummm!
