It uses up a ton of chard, and is more delicious than you would suspect. http://www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2008/07/alice-waterss-s.html We skipped the fussy blanching step at the beginning, and also didn't use the stems, and it was still excellent.

Ah! Good idea on the raspberries. Those chickens are like our third mode of compost. First, I put the table scraps in their coop for a while. What they don't eat goes into the worm bin unless that's full. Everything else (including all our napkins and even fancy hippie diapers) goes into the hot compost. My own personal waste stream! Van Buren's are table grapes. I also have Venus and... err... some impulse buy that I forget now. I've never had a grape from them. My kids eat everything. Yeah, I know, it's weird. I mean, faced with the possibility of... candy or whatever, they'll pass on real food, but we're a little crazy with the eating. Wifey's a maniac in the kitchen. She specializes in Japanese and Indian cooking, and the kids love it. Yeah, it's penis-y. Might as well meet that head on. Heh. So funny. Thanks. Ah! Good idea on the raspberries.

With ya on the raspberries. Fortunately, the chickens ADORE the ones that are smooshy and past their prime. What does one do with Van Buren grapes? Table or wine? Do your kids eat eggplant? I can't even get my husband to eat eggplant. No comment on the squash. Ok, one comment.... ack. No.... No comment. Ooooh, purdy pictures….
