Day 1.171: See - scapes!

Here is our second batch of garlic scapes from our CSA share. We made a very strongly flavoured pesto with the first batch - this time we made a rather more friendly-on-people-we-breathe-on pasta sauce by sautéing them chopped into inch-long sections in some olive oil with some salt and pepper. It was a very pleasing take on spaghetti all' aglio e olio. There's something spectacularly pleasing about eating something delicious that, if the major grocery stores had their way, would be completely wasted.

Talking of grocery stores, I was sent out with a shopping list after the kids went to bed this evening in search of diapers (actually Exile #2 spelled it daipers - which is the Welsh I think) and a few other essentials. Today's British-pop as American-muzak to encourage us to buy more groceries? Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer. I couldn't make it up. Well, I could, but where would the fun be in that?
