Cooking with Chive Blossoms

We have a bunch of chive blossoms and I didn't want them to go to waste. So last night, I tried out a new recipe for Avocado Soup with Chive Blossoms.

The verdict? I thought it was quite good with a strong taste of spring. Kate on the other hand thought it was a little too thick and wasn't quite sure about the chive blossoms.

I think the next experiment will be adding chive blossoms to eggs.

The 2012 Gardening Season has begun

Started the garden today. We have big plans for a garden expansion, but so far just a few plants in raised bed #1: cucumber, peppers, onions, leeks, kale (2 types), chives, basil, thyme, rosemary, carrots and roma beans.
