What did you make with the leeks?

Ramps are not exactly leeks. Here's an article from Time about them http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1981446,00.html

They have a green leaf top and a small white bulb at the bottom, the whole plant is eatable. I cleaned the ramps and some asparagus, tossed it with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, and fresh black pepper and tossed them into a grill pan while I was cooking a butterflied chicken on the grill.

The taste is very similar to a leek or a spring onion. But the price is way more because, AFAIK, they are not grown commercially. They grow on forrest floors on the east coast from N.Carolina to Canada. Now that I know what they are, I've been on the look out, but haven't found any in the wild.

I would imagine they could be used quite nicely in place of leeks in many recipes, including potato leek soup. I absolutely love leeks. Trying to grow some in my garden, if it ever warms up in Connecticut.

Well, it could be there are some people out there propogating things like this that might be associated with bad things.

In any event, if you see a dialog box that looks something like there might be malware in your computer or you IE session ends prematurely, just shut off your computer or restart it.

Here's some more info about this from Mcafee. The very first response as you scroll down has some details.

Also, here is some info from Norton which diagonses it as HTTP Fake Scan Webpage 5.

Thanks! That sounds really delicious. I’ll look for them, if I don’t find ramp, will try your recipe with leaks. I’m not positive but I think I remember seeing them grow as a kid in the woods next to my house. They smelled really good.

I’ll plant some Peppers, tomatoes few other things soon. I’ll look for Ramps too. :)

A good website for finding good recipes is the Betty Crocker website.

Looks like the BBQ will only be my ribs and Mylife's beans (with ham hocks)

I was hoping that everybody would chip in with some yummy dishes!

To make this cook-out a success, the following are still needed:

Potato salad
Cole slaw
Corn on the cob
Hot garlic bread
crispy cold tossed salad
deviled eggs
margaritas
beer
lemonade
cakes and pies

Anybody else 'in'?

That's o.k.! I don't know much about the Kalevala, so we're even.

But seriously, if a kilt isn't made of heavy wool and deeply pleated so that it has some weight to it, it will fly up in the breeze. Because of the . . . ahem . . . ventilation, they aren't particularly hot in the summertime.

What time should I arrive?
