It's officially SPRING! And foraging season!
While out this weekend I noticed knotweed shoots, young garlic mustards, and dandelions! That means some fantastic treats and recipes are on the way. If you dig wild foods, stay tuned. I will do my best to keep you in the loop on all the kitchen projects.
Up this weekend: pesto and wine!
I'm also hosting my first Pampered Chef party for my dear friend, Cahlan. Do any of you use their products? I ordered a much-needed garlic press, and a new slotted scoop for my deep fryer. Gonna need that baby for dandelion fritters.
Also, I believe I may have found a use for the honeysuckle that is taking over my property. It's not edible, but it might be worth it anyways. :)
And finally, I decided to do a little giveaway to encourage donations to St Jude. For every $5 you sponsor me for, you will receive one chance at a $25 Amazon Gift Card! The drawing will be held August 1st.
Donate HERE!
Now get off the computer and go outside!
All the sudden, I wanted to introduce you to my brother. Too bad you live WAY THE HECK in New York and I live WAY THE HECK in South Dakota... *shrug*
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing person... I am sorry your LL sucks and cut down all of your food. What a jerk. The nerve of some people!
Haha that would be awesome, if the distance wasn't so... distant! The internet makes the world seem so small, yet sometimes so horribly huge.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my landlord is a moron. I don't even know what they were doing this time, other than there's a HUGE stump out there. I think he's running an illegal landfill or something. *sigh*
On the bright side he only dozed the knotweed, which is ridiculously invasive and cannot be destroyed. It only sets me back a few weeks, which still sucks, but all is not lost. The garlic mustards grow along the driveway, so they're still safe. I'll be collecting those tomorrow! :D
