Before you send those vegetable scraps to the compost heap (or worse) make stock
Here is a step by step explanation from Squidoo
I used my stock to make a lentil vegetable soup -topped with pickled winter vegetables. I saute the lentils with the vegetables before adding the stock - it gives them a richer flavor.
If people can compost in New York City apartments --there is no excuse.
Wine recommendation: Gewurztraminer
