Bill, I guess when I think of Tarpon Springs I think of the village/docks, the little church with the weeping Mother (if I remember correctly), it's been years since there. I'm sure, as in the case of many smaller towns, T-Springs has grown another "city" on the outskirts of the original, eh?
Do people still dive for the cross in the cold water? Yikes!
I will talk to some other gardeners and chef friends; if I come across some recipes for you I'll holler back.
Best to you and yours,
Shoe
