| A new brand of Harissa, the Moroccan pepper sauce, which I bought at Whole Foods yesterday. It was hot and tasty as a condiment with dinner. |

| The first sweet corn of 2017. It grew quite a lot further south than here in Michigan, where the corn is just getting started. It's almost summer! |
 |
| Chicken roasted with Moroccan spices and olives: I used Ras al Hanout (a Moroccan spice blend), cumin, coriander, fresh garlic and ginger root, and olive oil. This is becoming one of my favorite ways to make a roast chicken. Originally we planned to cook it outdoors -- but rain and thunderstorm warnings deterred us. |

| More about the season -- our garden is looking very beautiful this week, especially the rhododendron. |
 |
| At the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden, the tree peonies have mostly finished blooming, while the garden-variety peonies are just beginning. It's a stunning and exceptional collection of many types of peonies founded over 90 years ago. We had a very nice visit yesterday just before the thunderstorms rumbled into town. |

We are getting thunderstorms today but we sure need the rain. I like your street view. I lived in Owosso MI for a while in my teen years. Quiet little town.
Great chicken dish you have here, I'll bet it's popular with your family.
It's chicken for us tonight - thanks for getting me thinking. Cheers
Pretty gardens! Can't wait to see what started blooming when I was out of town.
I can only find the Harissa spice powder here, but it is good. Your chicken looks fantastic, and makes me want to fix some right away! Lovely garden.
