Thanks to marc and Carol I had an unexpected early harvest of onions. Per my post yesterday, these poor things were way overcrowded. Now here's the thing - do I use these on burgers like I do regular onions or in a casserole where I normally use green onions??? I'll be conducting informal polls at work today to find something delicious to cook with these TONIGHT. I can't wait! Thanks again, guys!

Today's Coolness
I finally spotted a baby Cantaloupe!! I have 2 plants and they have had billions of blooms but nothing like actual fruit until this. I have to say that, to me, this looks NOTHING like a Cantaloupe. In the back of my mind there is this little evil voice whispering "what if it's really squash? you don't know what you are doing."
I really really love these little grape tomatoes. They look just like grapes to me!! Now I see why they are called that! When I've added them to my salad at the salad bar I never understood why they were called that. They look way more like grapes when clustered on the vine like this than in a big black bowl on the salad bar.

I have just the recipe, Gina. Green onions are a main ingredient in Korean food .
ReplyDeleteThinly slice some rib eye steak
( slightly frozen ones slice better ) and barbecue it on the grill. Slice the green onions, including green tops, into 1 inch very thin slivers diagonally. Drizzle with Sesame oil and salt. Serve with Asian style rice and stir-fried vegetables.
Place green onion mixture inside the thin slice of rib eye and pop into your mouth . UMMMM, good !
It sure doesn't look like a cantaloupe! You will have to keep us posted on this one:)
