Guess what we are having for dinner tonight?
I propped these beauties up so that they were leaning on an orange/yellow tea towel that I draped over my tea pot (I know, I know... do I own anything other than orange tea towels?)
Leeks are related to the onion family, but have a sweeter, more sophisticated flavor than their close relatives. Looking like a scallion on steroids, leeks have blueish green leaves which grow in an overlapping fan shape, adding to their decorative appearance. Cultivated since the time of the Ancient Egyptian, leeks were highly prized by the Romans who considered the leek a superior veggie, and the Emperor Nero believed that eating leeks would improve his singing voice.

I'll let you know if I can sing any better after dinner tonight...
