The Elusive Leek


This week I was finally going to make Leek Potato soup. I figured my husband MIGHT eat it because it had potato's in it and it would be a good way to introduce a new vegetable (leeks) into our diets. I reviewed the recipe one more time and realized I didn't know how much of the leek was edible. So I Googled how to prepare a leek. As the photos loaded I realized I did not have a leek. What the hell did I buy? This takes not knowing what you are eating (think hot dogs) to a whole new level. I started Googling images of leeks, leek family, onion family, you get the idea. I had bought fennel. FENNEL! This road to being green was going to be a long road!
