Garlic scapes (no, not SNAPES) are the flowering tops of the garlic bulbs. They look like really long and loopy green beans. They're available usually mid-June and not available for very long. They have a very mild garlic flavor without that hot garlic bite.
Garlic Scape Pesto:
Ingredients:
1 cup garlic scapes (about 8 or 9 scapes), top flowery part removed, cut into ¼-inch slices
1/3 cup walnuts*
¾ cup olive oil
¼-1/2 cup grated parmigiano
½ teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
Method:
Place scapes and walnuts in the bowl of a food processor and whiz until well combined and somewhat smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil and process until integrated. With a rubber spatula, scoop pesto out of bowl and into a mixing bowl. Add parmigiano to taste; add salt and pepper. Makes about 6 ounces of pesto. Keeps for up to one week in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
*I used 1/3 cup pine nuts because that's what I had on hand. I also added a little bit of lemon juice because I saw it in another recipe.
It really turned out delicious. I'm thinking it would make for a really good potato salad.
A definite plus over regular pesto - scapes are MUCH cheaper than basil.
Your Score: Orpheus
33% Extroversion, 66% Intuition, 83% Emotiveness, 80% Perceptiveness

You are an artist, an aesthete, a sensitive, and someone who has never really let go of that childlike innocence. To you, all of life has a sense of wonder in it, and the story of Orpheus was written about someone just like you.
When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there.
You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt.

It requires a considerable strengthening of the will to awaken the hidden self that lies enchanted in the weaving of dreams. The soul's initiative must be at work to wrest it from its disguise; only then does it appear in its true spiritual form. That is the awakening of the supersensory man who comes from primal times and brings cosmic memory into the present.
The Wisdom of Fairy Tales - Rudolph Meyer
It was actually something of a toss up between this book and a copy of a Bloom County anthology - they were each on either side of my desk - but I figured the Bloom County one would lose something in the translation. Bill the Cat's hairballs are far funnier in print!
I hereby tag anyone who hasn't done this yet cause I think it's nifty to see what folks have lying around. Call me nosy!
