TicTac

Trip to my local Japanese fish monger for tonight’s dinner - Big eye had this prep in Vancouver years ago and we still love it - bonito soy with chives. ocean trout fried greenies

Not surprising given his desire to be a public figure and adored by many. Sadly, humanity never ceases to disappoint. There is such a lack of empathy for others. Far too much narcissism abound. This Asia tool sounds like a real gem...

I could not help but laugh out loud at this one. 😄 We are having soft corn tacos tonight - Does it still work if its a Thursday!?

It is amazing in tea. Love to combine it with lemon grass. Sometimes mint. It also dries out quite nice and stores long term.

Gorgeous space. Trying to figure out that caged in area...is that where that cat resides on the catio!? 😛

Almost equally comical. If only said customers did some research on the environmental costs (energy use from super processing, bi-product waste, etc) associated with production... I would not touch these things with a 10' pole, but rather in your case, use beans or other binders in lieu.

It always amused me when people tried to convince themselves that this super processed patty 'o crap was somehow healthier than a piece of meat.

Lemon verbena have little teeth - think of a cats tongue - all over the flat of the leaf. Can't imagine that would be fun in the digestive tract!

Never heard of eating lemon verbena. I have grown it many years and solely used it for tea. The leaves are very tough - I would think you would have to strain it first.

I ate there. Broth was good. Nothing amazing. Pretty big dick move if he just dumped the guy after 10 years of dedication.

I will go out on a limb and say - roast said carrot, toast said bun - insert said carrot into said bun and top with whatever tickles your fancy. 😛

I can only imagine how proud your folks must be of you. Glad that everyone is back home on the mend.

Took a drive to one of my favourite fish mongers - when he tells you these were off the boat yesterday in Greece - you buy! sardines and baby red mullet spring salmon all cooked/touched with smoke on some Argentinian hardwood and hickory/cherry

....think the doves be flying around like crazy because they love that marijuana patch 'o theirs!

I would be shocked if that brought even a fraction of that 'estimated' value. Willett is not that high up there on the sought after bottles, either. It's stupid what some people are spending on hooch, especially when such good stuff is available at msrp.

Surely there are attachments to accommodate females...

Apologies, gramps. You never know when someone is trying to be a wise guy or is genuinely interested, especially given how text can so easily be misconstrued. Google is a great tool if you are seriously interested to learn more, but to help get you started... https://theherbalacademy.com/plantain-leaf-benefits-recipes/ https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/red-raspberry-leaf-tea#bottom-line https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3934766/ What you consider 'weeds' - many are actually not only edible, but extremely beneficial from a health perspective. Check out Lambs Quarters (a common 'weed') and compare its nutritional values to say, spinach.

Are you looking for clarification on which/what? (or are you just being a smart ass grammar police?!)

Maybe its me - but I do not find they have much flavour. I have tried them in teas, thats about it. Lately I have been focused on foraging for plants that have high medicinal benefits; things like purslane, plantain, baby raspberry leaves, mulien, etc. Good stuff for winter ailments and proactive medicine.

Service berries indeed. Just planted two in my back yard. Oh, and also planted some chokeberries. Thanks for taking the time to post some pics - love seeing where others forage. I will try to do the same this season when I go out shroom hunting.

The fact that they gave Alo bar a star and nothing for Scaramouche is beyond logic. Like you said, too many of these spots are centralized down in that core yorkville region and clearly the michelin folks did not venture too far out (did they actually eat at Frilu, or did they just hear that it was good!?) - if had they done so, Zen / Kaji should have made that (amongst a few others, perhaps even in lieu of some nonsense recipients like Shoushin) sushi centered list.

Ooooh it's hunting time! Staying tuned as usual. Thanks @Shelby!

I learned about the elm oysters a few years ago from an old Italian guy and they are very easy to identify. Boletes same. Love learning about all the variety that grows here. The coolest this season so far I have found are 'birds nest' mushrooms. Just waiting on a puffball in the back field to grow before I chop it!

@Annie_H - are you pre-cooking your potato base crust? Is it simply sliced taters? White or Yukon? Love the idea. Doing a potato 'risotto' tomorrow with wild shrooms.

Sounds like such an awesome adventure you are on @Senior Sea Kayaker. Love foraging myself. Just getting ready for elm oyster and bolete season here in southern ON. Welcome to the forum!
