Garlic Scapes are the flowerinng stalk of the garlic plant - typically found only on the type of garlics known as hard neck garlic. Starting as a tender, curled shoot, the scape is edible for a week or two in early summer before lignifying and straightening. The flowers mature bulbils- mini garlic bulbs that can be planted for garlic shoots in the fall, winter and spring, or allowed to mature into a full clove useful for planting to produce a full head of garlic the following year.
Bread flour has a higher gluten percentage than AP flour and produces a chewier, more toothsome product. It makes a real difference in those pitas, and can not be substituted without sacfrifce in flavor and texture.

About The CSK
I would like to coin a phrase: Community Supported Kitchen. OK ammend a phrase. But this is what this is. Every week we muse on what is fresh, seasonal, inspiring, and appropriate, cook up two different meal menues, and deliver shares to our members. Each week is something of a surprise, and hopefully something to consider.
What is the CSK?
The Community Supported Kitchen is a members-only, subscription, meal-delivery service in which individuals or families purchase monthly membership shares. Similar to the Community Supported Agriculture model these shares then entitle the members to their ‘share’ of the two dinner menus the kitchen prepares each week. Dues occur at the start of each month and meals are delivered on the same day of every week. Members are invoiced for the coming month, via e-mail, at the end of the present month.
Membership
The CSK operates as a private eating club. Membership entitles you to as many shares as you secure each month. As a member you are in fact owner of the ingredients purchased with your membership dues, and prepared for your meals each week. The preparation of food for members of a private club is not a retail sale. As a member you accept full risk and responsibility for accepting your share.
Who We Are
We have lived here in our town since 2002 and been active in the community as a student, an environmental educator, members of numerous committees, volunteers, a Common Ground Co-op board leader, workshop educators, and local foods advocates. After 16 years of professional culinary experience we founded the CSK at the behest of a community member who needed well prepared, healthy food delivered to her family, and convinced us others do also. She was right.

Though for Food
There is absolutely no substitute for the best. Good food cannot be made of inferior ingrediants masked with high flavor. It is true thrift to use the best ingredients available and to waste nothing.

Speaking of different kinds of flours, we wanted to report that we were looking at Strawberry Fields for bread flour to make the Poor Man's Pasta recipe below, but found that they only carry durum semolina pasta flour...! So we tried that, and it worked, as you might guess, beautifully. We highly recommend it. We've made the pasta twice now. The first night we had it with just a little bit of olive oil, freshly shredded parmigiano reggiano, and a lot of pepper. The second night we had it with a simple tomato sauce and more shredded parm. Fabulous! and fun! thanks for the recipe!
My typical soource for bread flour is King Arthur Brand from a supermarket...thanks for the lead on some semolina that sounds worth a try!
