On this week’s show Leslie Land sees green and thinks it’s yummy. It’s the first herbs of spring, chervil and cilantro, and they’re on the way. Cari Swanson thinks like a horse, but will she fight or flight, Carola Kittridge makes history alive with her piece on William Johnson and Johnson Hall, Alex Tuller gets so inspired by Leslie’s segment that she forgets all about the dessert she promised and cooks with chervil instead.
In an adaptation of our reading this week, Debra Adamsons of World’s End Books in Beacon, NY, dials us into William Thompson Howell’s “The Hudson Highlands” – and he is that old world type of manly man that makes us modern boys feel a bit pasty. And, of course, we have Ilana Papele’s The List, the greatest complilation of things to do in the Hudson Valley on earth!
