all in on alliums

Chives are the only species of Allium native to both the New and the Old Worlds. Both the leaves and flowers are edible and have been cultivated since the Middle Ages. Its English name, chives, derives from the French word cive, from cepa, the Latin word for onion. Anyone who has grown chives, knows they are a bit like growing mint…a little too enthusiastic in the garden.  How do you use up your chives? Give me ideas..my current repertoire is pretty limited to eggs and potatoes (mostly omelettes and new potatoes with sour cream and chives). I need more suggestions! Help.
