Whatcha Making for Supper?

Chicken and baked potato with sour cream butter ranch dressing and salt and pepper. Oh and I will cut up some garlic scapes.

Yeah, it sounded better in theory than it looked going in

The onions and garlic were a given. I just needed something else... I almost went with a jar of artichoke hearts

garlic scapes

Nice. First time hearing of these.
Are they like a scallion or Spring onion, only garlic?

That might have been great. Seems like a nice substitute for mushrooms in texture.

I haven't had any come up yet. How to you serve them? Do you sauté them?

First year growing garlic and they said I would get the scapes in spring.

I usually just cut them up and put them on the baked potato. I have fried them with potatoes. They're so adaptive to work with however you choose to use them. A lot of people say that they are bitter but my taste buds don't agree.

It's the tops of the garlic. I find them to be extremely useful for cooking. I eat them raw on my baked potato.

I had to add my last yogurt to my supper because I was still a bit hungry.

I can't wait to try them.

Steak, baked potato and whatever fresh veggie I pick up when I'm shopping today.
