No, not a real snake! It's the tops before that pop up as the bulb is forming that wonderful fruit. Anyway, I have these beautiful snake like garlic tops and was clueless as to what they're used for. I asked friends and almost all of them said "stir fry". I don't want stir fry I want something that will taste a bit different from the usual use of the product. While surfing the net I found some wonderful choices, from pesto to grilled pizza, YUM! I'm looking forward to the experiments.
I went to both of the local farmers markets today. What's good about having them around is that I know where my food's coming from. I can interact with those who grow my food. One of the markets has produce from Wilson College's Sustainable Living Program. It's all organic and priced much better then the old food labeled organic in the grocery store. Becoming a Locovore isn't difficult if you live in a rural area like mine.
The sad part was that I didn't have time to cook today. I was too busy running around all over town and down to MD. I plan on making the grilled pesto shrimp pizza using a whole wheat dough tomorrow. I'm going to put one of my pizza stones on the grill too to see which pizza tastes better. I think it'll go really well with Shock Top beer.
