Except... The recipes were mehhhh. Not totally suck-tastic, but definitely not worth the time it took to prepare them. I was discouraged last week, to say the least.
So I'm scouring the interwebz extra hard today, looking for some recipes to redeem myself. I'm hoping a couple of them involve bacon.
Anyway, to tide my 3 readers over... Remember when I told y'all how I love green onions and buy a fresh bunch every week, because they are awesome? Well, in case that extra $0.68 a week is really straining your budget, here is a neat trick:
After you cut off all the green parts an are left with the bulb, stick that bad boy in some water. Why, you might ask? Because in about a week, you will have something that looks like this:
That right there is my own little regrown bunch of green onions. And $0.68 saved on my grocery bill this month. Not only does this make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (that's the 1/2 Jew in me), but since I kill every green thing I've ever planted, seeing these babies sprout up before my very eyes gives me some weird sort of satisfaction.
So I will leave you with one of my favorite uses for green onions - BREAKFASSSTTTT NOMMMM
Scrambled eggs with green onions and parsley, bacon, toast and half an avocado.
Now if I could magically regrow some avocados, we would be in biz-nasssss
