So, along with this growing my own food thing, I have decided to get more into foraging. It's not as crazy as it sounds - you just eat the delicious things that grow wild in your area! For example, there is a crap ton of wild asparagus in my area... if I can just get someone to give up the location. And someone has posted that they had found wild morels around here! Last year I harvested some wild lambs quarters and sauted them with a little olive oil and garlic. Mmmmmm! I have transplanted a stand of chives that had escaped captivity, and am looking forward to eating more of them this year. The best part is that I don't have to do anything but sit back and let nature grow me a garden!
Along with "nature's garden" I have started to bake again. Obsesively. I wish I could tell you why, but it doesn't make sense to me either... So tonites project was snickerdoodles. I asked my sister for her recipe, but she sucks and never did send it. So I went online and found one at allrecipes.com, and they turned out pretty darn good according to the one kid who was still up to try them. I haven't eaten one yet, as my deal is baking but not eating the product. That's what makes it even more spastic...
