There’s a bonus photo this week, because I really wanted to take a picture through the fennel foliage. I think it turned out pretty well, excepting the flash making everything too bright.

Carrots, tomatoes, basil, garlic, green onions, and (ugh) another bag of green beans. Most importantly, though: fennel! Fennel is a magically delicious beast, with a rich, artichokey base, flavorful celery-ish stalks, and lots of lightly flavored, very fragrant, almost licorice-ey leaves. I’ve been looking forward to fennel because I have a new approach to try — spicing and baking it, exemplified by this recipe. Fennel is also a great addition to soups, and all sorts of potato dishes, and the leaves and stalks can go in salads.

    Nope; green beans, lima beans, and garbanzos. They all have this sort of chalky/fuzzy texture that puts me off. Fortunately, Jaden likes them.
