A dear friend left this bag of ramps(wild leeks) hanging on our door knob early this morning! What a lovely surprise...so this evening we're having ramps and mushrooms gratines: saute 10 trimmed ramps and quartered mushers in a couple tablespoons of (real!) butter until golden. Take off heat, add half a cup of heavy cream and pop in small casserole dish. Cover with breadcrumbs mixed with Gruyere cheese and broil until golden topped! After dinner go for a brisque walk around the field 4 times to help move all that lovely cream through your veins!

Sally dear, I am so happy you are enjoying the leeks. I thought it might be a nice surprise for you. The dish you made sounds quite extravagant when compared to my grilled leeks.
I just love the setting of your house, garden & chicken house.
Perhaps the next delivery will be made later in the day :)
Hugs, J
Success !
Looking forward to seeing more of the chook pen as it progresses. We had a discussion about leeks on the way to the bus stop this morning.One of our favourite suppers is leek and potato soup with homemade crusty bread.
