It’s Spring. Time to Crack Some Eggs

by Nicole Washington

Have you ever wondered why eggs are everywhere this time of year?  I mean, yes, there’s Easter.  But eggs have been symbolic of spring for a long time.  As far back as the ancient Romans, eggs symbolized new life and reproduction.  March is named after Mars, the Roman god of agriculture (and war, but this is a food blog).  March was actually the first month in the Roman calendar, because it marked the beginning of farming season.

Proud to have collaborated with Lynn Johnson on her latest piece in NGM, Healing Soldiers. Click to see the masks created as part of the art therapy project at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence. 

Sometimes an image you never thought would see the light of day gets pulled out of the vault and used! Thanks Plate, for using my shot of forks today!
