Man Taking a Leek on a Tiled Wall for a Walkby James C. Christensenhttp://www.greenwichworkshop.com/images/gallery/images/Prints/Christensen/JC00370lg.jpg
Ah those were the days; we’d hear the music coming from the onion truck a block away. We’d ask mom for a quarter. My buddies and I would race down the street to meet the Onion man. I always had mine dipped in chocolate and rolled in crushed peanuts.
Leeks are onions, and yes they have dirt in between the “layers”. And I rather enjoy the recipes, but that might be one ofthe differences between men and women.
I have heard stranger 911 calls.Caller: Is this 911?911: Go ahead with your emergency.Caller: I am out of beer can the cops bring me some I don’t want to drive.911: Please don’t abuse the system do you have an emergency?Caller: Yeah, you stupid (bad language galore) I am out of beer.911: Please hold.Later time passesCaller: Hey there is some one at the door.911: Its your ride.Door is opened and we arrest the caller for 911 abuse.Caller to the Cops on the way to jail: Hey on the way to the jail can we stop to pick up some beers?True Police Stories. Happens more than once.
Wild onions are better except for fajitas. Cut off the root and green under running water and freeze. Chopping while frozen prevents tears. Harvest when the “Slavic dome” appears. That prevents you from getting crow poison (white blossom) by mistake. Added benefit: it delays having to mow the yard for a month until harvest.

Is it St. David’s Day? That’s when every good Welshman takes a leek – and wears it in his hat!

Spare me the loooong recipes. Keep your comments short and pithy.

Maybe a link to the recipes would be better, but it doesn’t bother me.

Yes, which makes for a more balanced diet. You have not only the leeks, but the sandwiches there.

Famous (or perhaps infamous) start of a Julia Child recipe: “First, you take a leek…”
