The light has changed. The temperatures are not really any cooler yet than they have been on average this cool summer-the highs were in the 80s today-but the light has shifted, this last week or so, and my hindbrain says, yes, fall. Here we are. Fall. We are home.

Ooh. How did the luxuriant crown of leaves compare to regular radish greens? (Wait. Am I the only person who tastes all the root vegetable leaves in case they're delicious?)

ETA: Not potatoes, I know about those.

They were extremely prickly. Ouchily prickly. So I did not taste.

I have taken to doing up radish greens the same way I do kale or beet greens-- caramelize a suitable quantity of onions (more for kale, less for radish), then toss in the greens and cover to steam over low heat. This knocks down the prickly quite effectively.

Yes, but then you have something full of onions, so you see my hesitation.

You are not a fan of the caramelized onion?

However, I find that garlic is also good with greens, so.
