Craft Show Crazy Discovers Garlic Scapes

This is what has been keeping me busy... along with the garden, and Dr. Destructo, and seeing all of Kiddo's baseball games, and chasing foxes away from my chickens... and my brain just blew up. Again.

Here's a few of the guys I'm bringing. I'll spend the next two days getting my act (code for monster stuff, tent, tables, miscellaneous, sanity) together, and it will be awesome. So local yokles... check it out, yo.

foccacia bread with onions and rosemary

I made foccacia bread with onions and rosemary this morning... (instead of prepping) for Kiddo's school. They're having an international luncheon, and I volunteered to make a "family" bread. We don't have one of those. I do make pizza often from scratch though, so I thought this would be close enough. It smells really good! I hope the kids at least try some.

Aggie seemed sad that he wasn't going to have any yummy smelling foccacia bread. Oh well, Aggie.

I learned about something new in the garden the other day... thanks to Bridgett over at Rambling Designs. Garlic scapes! Holy good idea! We're big fans of garlic, and onions over here, so this is right up our alley. Apparently it also helps the garlic grow big and strong by taking the energy away from the scape thing and letting it go to the bulb. Woot! Woot! I see garlic scape pesto in my future.

I'm going to harvest them tonight!

In the meantime, head on over to Wisdom Begins in Wonder to check out the other Fiber Arts Friday happenings. It's a swell place!
