A great editorial

A great editorial that talks about how much we have to learn from the  so called third world that have been practicing sustainability for centuries. It makes me want to make another solar cooker.

Garlic Scapes

These are just a handful of our garlic scapes. In the past we have either sautéed them in a cast iron pan with olive oil and s&p, or roasted them on  the grill. With this number I needed to find new recipes. First out of my head, I made an excellent pesto with the scapes, olive oil, pecans s&p. I will do it again. And from a recipe in the nytimes a good  double garlic soup. Next I would like to try the white bean and scape dip. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/18/dining/18appe.html?ref=dining
