The green tops of this punchy allium are even more packed with flavour than the white parts – see for yourself with this eye-opening soup recipe

Leeks, like spring onions, grow with a head of tall, spiky leaves that are usually trimmed while they’re down in the field. Returning plant matter back into the soil isn’t a bad thing, but composting edible food shouldn’t be our first choice. So look out for leeks with their tops intact: they are as flavourful, if not more so, than the white part.

I’m all for using the top section of leeks, but those would be very chewy crisps. Worse than kale chips.

The rebel priest: ‘Gay people in the church are not going to go away’The Rev Andrew Foreshew-Cain says his same-sex marriage cost him his ministry. Now he is launching a campaign for the rights of LGBTQ Christians Oh what a rebel............ The Episcopal Church’s split from the Church of England is one of the best things that happened. I became an Episcopalian because they’re so inclusive and welcoming. Priests can be male, female, gay, straight, single, or married. Does it matter if priests (and nuns) have made vows of celibacy and, in some cases, even of chastity?

Nearly all the world's countries sign deal to prevent plastic waste – except USDeal will improve handling of plastic waste and prevent it from getting washed or dumped into oceans and rivers, UN says Europe, if you’re listening, dump everything you’ve got on these shitrag republicans so we can stop all this. Kthx. I'm so disgusted with Trump and his 'leadership' … counting the months until 2020 but pretty sure Trump will cheat to win a second time. US is the law onto itself. Its government has its balls in the hands of banks and corporate giants, who only care about money, not environment. That’s what capitalism means! Unless banks and corporations agree to sign that deal, US won’t sign! Disgusting country!
