I grow my own green onions [College Cuisine]
On the advice of some indoor-gardening site, I planted some store-bought green onions. Just stick them in the soil. It's great for instant-gratification gardening because you don't have to wait for seeds to sprout, it's already green. You can fit a whole bunch of them in a pot yogurt container because they're so tall and skinny.
Then every so often, when they get a little long, cut off the tops and cook with them.
Having my green onions around is actually a great impetus to cook, because they're on display as a houseplant (unlike most of my other ingredients), and because they bend under their own weight if I don't cut them for a while.
Tonight's late dinner:
cut up a potato or three (they're small potatoes), and some green onions
salt & pepper
start frying, realize that potatoes cook pretty slowly
continue frying until the surface is vaguely cooked-looking, then microwave ~2min
add cottage cheese on top
nom
I'd been needing to use the potatoes anyway because they were starting to sprout. As long as I was on a gardening kick, it felt bad to kill the sprouts (they're cute and fuzzy!), so I cut off the biggest one along with a good-size chunk of root, and we'll see if I can get it to grow into anything interesting.
