You told me so many interesting things, I can't even remember them all. Most likely, I will refresh my memory by coming here in the future. Udon Miso Soup with Wild Garlic Meatballs made me curious, I will definitely make it when I get a chance.

For some strange reason ramps don't seem to grow here in Southern B.C. I've no idea why...not like we don't have forest! My chef friend gave me some a few years ago...bulbs/roots intact so I planted them...they did well at first but not now...But this year I found some new ones growing in amongst the raspberry canes! So...me thinks I'm going to dig up the other ones and plant them there as well. Oh and while we are talking wild garlic...yes please, I'd love a bag! If only!

I loved this post! I love garlic, and especially wild garlic. It's just in season now in Israel. A thousand thanks for so many ideas and recipes.
