Or did you cook them first? And I am sorry your soup wasn't great! I wonder if maybe they were not fresh? I have heard you need to eat them pretty quickly...like maybe they picked them on Saturday and then you bought them on Sunday? Yum--can't wait for the flapjacks recipe :-) Courtney That scape spead sounds great–did you use *raw* garlic scapes? Or did you cook them first?

The produce is always so beautiful, I can't resist. I like your white bean/garlic scape idea. I made a pesto with scapes, but it was very heavy. I always overbuy at the farmers’ market.

I made 'em once and made myself eat them. But I won't make them again. Too flaxy for me ... and I love flax. Oh well. They sure are pretty though. As for squash blossoms, I've only had them stuffed with tofu ricotta, battered and fried. And they were delicious until I ate a bite near the stem part. That bite was very bitter. I think the petals themselves are tasty, but get bitter closer to the stem. The pesto dip looks yummy! Can you believe I've never even seen a garlic scape?!

I was pretty sure I removed all of those by cutting off the stem end of the flower and shaking them out. But it's possible I missed some. Or I just hate squash blossoms! That's good to hear about the avocado lime pie... and in Minneapolis, too! Thanks for sharing.
