Make a backup


One thing I have learned is that if you are trying something crazy, like making spaghetti with apples in it, for instance, it is good to also prepare a backup. That way you aren't left starving if your experiment goes horribly wrong. A backup we like is artichokes. The CSA keeps giving us really tiny ones, so we saved them up until we had a lot. I think maybe 20-25, although I didn't count. I popped them all in a big pot and boiled them up. I like to make a mayonnaise based sauce to dip them in, that always includes lemon and garlic, and then also has whatever is on hand thrown in. In this case, scallions and rosemary. We each ended up eating at least 10 of the little guys! Yum!
