Maple leaf edamame

Cook these babies up just like edamame.  Delish! and fun to peal and eat.

sunchoke surprise

Last year my son grew tons of sunflowers, made soup, made stir fry, you name it... He gave me a huge basket of them and I used quite a few then decided that since winter was coming on that I would try to winter some of them over.  I dug a hole and planted the entire bucket into the hole, topped it with a shovel of dirt and a mound of leaves.  This spring they were as fresh and crisp as they could be so I have started cooking with them and of course, planting some for the pretty flower and the root. 

Poke Greens from the vacant lot

I went cruising for poke greens yesterday in the alley behind my house and hit pay dirt.  I will be making Thai Basil and Poke Green soup for tonight's supper.  I made eggless tofu poke quiche last night.  Delish!
