my food storage consists of green onions.

So I'm never buying green onions again. ok not really. But did you know that if you cut just the green part off of a green onion, leaving the white part, it will grow another stalk of chives? yep. just stick that white part in a glass of water and wait a few days and magic, you've got more chives. My potato pearls are going to taste gourmet.



Can you see the original cut? It's right by the rim of the glass. And did you notice that I got not only one chive stalk, but two!


Crazy roots growing in the water.



***I can't wait to show my kids this one day. They're gonna think they have the coolest mom ever. maybe. we'll see.
happy earth day!
