Thanks for the scape pesto recipe. We have scapes at home from our CSA and I’ve been trying to figure out how to use them up! (Though I used a little of them in scrambled eggs, which was tasty.)

marcyincny, definitely pick them up at the next market! Get extra and make some pesto for the freezer. I use extra ice cube trays for this, then pop them out and store them in a freezer bag once they’re solid. It’s wonderful to pull a cube or two out in the middle of winter to toss in with some pasta or mashed potatoes, or to smear all over roasted chicken or fish.

Thanks for sharing the pesto recipe. Lots of scapes at the market here on Saturday but I didn’t pick up any; I hope they look as good next week…

I’m going to take the challenge. Does Liz explain what the parameters are of “local” in this challenge? I usually use Bob’s Red Mill flour which is produced less than 100 miles from here, does that count as local? The hardest part is that a lot of basic food items aren’t produced locally, like olive oil, all oil, and what about ingredients like baking soda or yeast? (I’m going to go to Pocket Farm and read more about it all)

I love this post. I love your food pictures. I love your love of growing and eating food. (Feeling all the love yet?)
