Rampscallions

While the thesaurus defines a rapscallion as a hood, thug or racketeer, I deem rampscallions to be of the highest order of wild onion foragers.  I inducted Richard this Sunday.  The sweet little scallions are easy to spot along the forest floor.  June's soggy ground kept a firm hold so it did take a little more finagling to get them to release.





allium tricoccum is a member of the lily family


they do clean up nicely!



a 4 minute waltz in the trusty cast iron skillet with a little olive oil (shhh... bacon grease),
balsamic vinegar and par-boiled green beans...
you can imagine why Rapunsel's mother gave away her first born for a taste


ENJOY!
