"eggs and greens and a bag of pea tendrils, which I'd never sampled before. Last night I sauteed a mess up in olive oil with some garlic and they were really good -- like spinach with some fresh pea flavor. I think I prefer them raw, though, in a salad. The tendrils are crisp and crunchy and have the most fresh pea flavor. The leaves are like a cross between spinach and peas and really nice mixed with other greens in a salad.

Pea tendrils! I've seen them on peas, but never anywhere else! Lovely idea for a salad ingredient. Be good in a stir fry too. I wonder if bean tendrils would be similar? We're only growing beans this year.

This evening a very simple root vegetable ragu with pasta.
