What's the only thing more fun to photograph with a macro lens than flowers? Why, bugs, of course - but the darn things won't sit still! Always nice to have the camera handy while DaddyDude is running errands somewhere...This past fall, we learned that you could plant the white part of the green onion, and you'd get new green leaves very quickly. Perhaps, too quickly. Half of my garden is now composed of bolting green onions! So, it was time to do something with them. I'd had a craving for green onion cakes for the longest time, but little incentive to make them.
Thank goodness for bolting green onions and the internet! I googled around and found a tasty-sounding recipe: http://sum.ptuo.us/roller/ks/entry/how_to_make_green_onion.
With a slightly spicy dipping sauce (http://www.sunshinerecipes.com/greenonioncakes.shtml), these were divine! Just like a restaurant! Even Mika absolutely loved them, declaring them "scrumptious!"It's so nice that kids are at the point where they can play together and leave me with enough time to cook something "gourmet". We rarely eat out, because it's so expensive and we are trying to be frugal (and okay, yeah, the girls' table manners don't make me proud yet).
And speaking of the kids, DaddyDude went outside and discovered that the kids had built an "ant track". Who knew it was a real sport? And apparently, with spectators, too! ;)By the way - for you scrapbookers out there - I finally got off my tush and started listing my remaining store inventory on Ebay - whew! So, you might want to check things out by clicking on the "3MG Scrapbooking" icon on the left. My goal is to have sold everything off by the end of August. I cannot wait to get rid of all the packing materials in the study! ;)
