Green!

       Can you see it?
I can remember doing this as a child (proof my memory is good!), but never had a use for the greens that sprung from the tops of carrots. Recently, however, I saw an article where they were used in pesto. Pesto! Who doesn't love garlic  & greens & olive oil over pasta (or in my case, spaghetti squash)? Once upon a time, I managed  a 165 acre farm in Maine. Surely I can remember to water 3  carrot tops now! Well, we'll see, and when they grow, I'll be sure to share the recipe. But-as with everything- this experience starts before the greens are fully grown, with care and attendance needed before dinner is started. My ancient psyche is a bit more suited to the task than my 5-year old self was. Patience can indeed be learned!

     The current pandemic is making me more and more aware of how many things we use every day that are throw-aways, as if adding to the piles of garbage at the landfill won't eventually take a toll on our communities. I am grateful to Lion Brand Yarn, who has produced Re-UP, a great recycled blend in a worsted weight, perfect for dishcloths. Bright colors, recycled fiber, an excuse to crochet before I clean-what's not to like?
