Grow Scallions in Water



Growing your own scallions in water on your windowsill is similar to growing your own fresh herbs but easier ; I saw this ridiculously easy idea on Pinterest, and it works! 

You can grow a continuos supply of green onions right on your windowsill starting with  the 99 cent bunch of scallions that you buy in the supermarket.

They don't even need soil to grow; They will grow in water in a small glass!

You know the white ends of the scallion with all the roots? ( the part you probably throw away?) After you use your the green part of the scallion, don't throw away the white ends. Those little suckers will grow a whole new scallion, and the scallion will grow quickly like in a week!

I saw the idea a long time ago, but it wasn't until last week that I thought I'd give it a try. Within one week, I have an entire bunch of scallions all over again. Yes, that quickly. Who knew?

Don't store scallions in your refrigerator

Even if you do not want to grow your own continuous supply of scallions, this method is also a way to just keep your scallions fresh. Store your scallion in some fresh water just like flowers! How many times to your find that the scallions you purchased last week went bad-

Have you ever done this before? Talk about frugal. You get all the scallions you want from one bunch.


How to Grow Scallions on Your Windowsill

Materials Needed: 
A glass jar
Water

Directions

1. Wash your scallions well and use as much of the green part as you like.
2. Place the white ends with all the roots in a small glass after you have cut some of all of the green part off. Cover the white ends with filtered water.
3. Place on your counter, windowsill, deck, or patio.
4. Change the water every 3 days. ( I like to keep mine on my counter so I remember to change the water)
5. It begins to grow immediately. Within a week, you will have tall green shoots that you can use for your cooking. They will just keep growing and growing!

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Meatloaf on My Mind...

Lately, I've been thinking about meatloaf. Warm, comforting...home. Good meatloaf is one of those dishes that  brings back fond memories, and bad meatloaf is shudder-worthy at best.When made with care, meatloaf is a clean, wholesome food. A host of "traditional" meatloaf recipes use things like barbeque sauce or A1 for flavor - very low on the Clean spectrum of things. When I saw these three ( essentially ) clean meatloaves in this month's issue of Women's Day Magazine, I knew I'd be posting them. I can't wait to try them. If you do, please post and let me know how you liked it! Lamb, Balsamic & Sundried Tomato Meat Loaf Whether you use lamb or substitute it with beef, this recipe is a refreshing take on the usual, with sweet sundried tomatoes balanced out by heady rosemary. Serve it with couscous for a real Mediterranean feast. Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Recipe Ingredients 1 lemon 2 large eggs 2 T bsp balsamic vinegar K...

Think that you are too busy or too tired to make healthy homemade soup for your family? This Chinese Cabbage Soup can be made in a Jiffy. I love making and eating homemade soup because i t isn't overly salty, full of chemicals, or high in fat like packaged or canned soup  or soup from restaurants. Not only is homemade soup delicious, nourishing, and healthy, it can made relatively quickly. This flavorful Chinese Cabbage soup took only 10 minutes preparation and around 20-25 minutes to cook. Why not try it? Cooking a pot of homemade soup warms your house, your belly, the soothing aroma greets each person as he/she enters your home.  I used Napa cabbage for this recipe , a soft flavorful cabbage that cooks up quickly and  cuts as easily as a head of lettuce. It's almost always available in regular supermarkets and Asian markets.  Combined with onions, carrots, fresh ginger and fresh garlic, this cabbage makes a wonderful Chinese style soothing light vegetable soup th...
