Gifts from a Student

Who has two thumbs and loves getting presents?  This girl.

Especially when the gift is something like this:

One of my students (and his family) live outside of town and have a smallish family farm.  Today they left me these lovely organic veggies and these gorgeous aloe flowers.  So sweet.

I am of the opinion that homegrown things are so much better tasting, fresher, and prettier than their store-bought counterparts.

Now how to cook these??
