In Barcelona, there is a great food tradition going on at this time of year.  It involves the smell of outdoor wood burning fires!  Ahhhh…the sweet smell of food grilling over an open flame.  I’m in heaven!  Most of you know me as the “pyromaniac” on our farm.  I take my hats off to the Larrabee fire department, my husband, family and friends for understanding this pleasurable disorder of mine.  My husband has even suffered for it, burning his hairy chest and all, as I recall on a crisp sunny, but snow covered March weekend…memories.  But, let’s get back to the great tradition of cooking and eating “Calcots”!
