I gave the waffle treatment to these ready-to-bake I gave the waffle treatment to these ready-to-bake white chocolate walnut cookies from @carrington_cookies - the most dangerous things in my freezer. Offering cookies on demand to someone with poor impulse control will never be a good idea.

The colours and textures of this pineapple excited me, and forgive me if this is starting to sound like a LinkedIn post, but I was reminded of the first joys I found in photography.

Garlic scapes are the stem and flower bud of the g Garlic scapes are the stem and flower bud of the garlic plant. 
I'd have never known that garlic could present as charismatically as it tasted, had I not seen these interesting-looking stems at a local Woolworths (the gaps in my food knowledge are sweeping). The scapes are edible, mildly alliaceous, and are often served roasted, stir-fried or as a pesto.
