What The Sam Hill is a Garlic Scape?

Today, A-Train brought me some SCAPES.  I had no idea that a scape was a garlic shoot that you could cook up and eat!

Luckily, I found something called the INTERNET that took me to this article:  7 Things to do with garlic scapes.  Some of these sound absolutely DEEELISH!

According to A-Train, I can just saute them with a little EVOO and salt, simmer and eat.  That's probably my speed, but if I wanted to be adventurous, I could try a couple mentioned in the article. 

Scape Hummus:  I'm a big hummus fan, but I have to be careful because before I know it, the entire container is gone.

Scape Soup:  No.  No.  It's Summertime.  No soup for you!

Having a garden is the BEST.  I just don't have the time to dedicate to one.  Luckily, I have Aaron as my co-host and if I play my cards right, I might get some zucchini too!

I'm looking forward to trying these scapes tonight when I get home.
