cherries for brunch
but all the cherries on the lower branches have been picked, so i used my bike to help myself into the tree, took my container up into the tree but it was a little dicey trying to hold on to a branch AND the container, so i dropped the container and ate the cherries as i picked them
bird’s foot trefoil and milkweed leaves, i’ve already eaten milkweed leaves RAW, so i had two raw and the other two leaves go into a bulk boil with the bird’s foot trefoil
BRUNCH – cherries, bird’s foot trefoil, milweed leaves, and tuna
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
DUCKWEED TESTING – grabbed some duckweed, this is something i will not try RAW
threw it into a strainer and ran some water over it
duckweed is pretty small
after a 6 min boil, had 3 pinches of duckweed, not bad, set the rest out to dry, i may have to mix this up hourly to make sure everything gets dry
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
day lily grazing – can’t believe how much i’m using day lilies for grazing, they’re easy to spot, taste good RAW, and when i eat these i actually feel like i’m eating fresh veggies
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
SILVERWEED – the Peterson guide says that silverweed roots are used as vegetables, i dug up a few silverweeds ( with roots ) and thought, i’d need a lot to roots here to make a meal
the silverweed stolons ( runners ) are quite long,
and i’m gonna try these as an edible, so what i’m doing here is separating silverweed into 3 different parts, runners / leaves, and roots.
already tried the leaves and runners RAW, chewy and no taste, now i have to separate all this into 3 piles
so i only made 2 piles, i’d have to do alot of digging to get a pile of roots
put these in together for a 6 min bulk boil and the bell just went off
both leaves and runners are chewy with no taste, the leaves have been used for teas / herbs, i’d maybe put these down as starvation/famine possibles
gonna heat up some noodles with my tuna,
” wild edibles only ” month > FAIL / start again tmmw
for the first 3 1/2 days, these wild edible meals were boring, not much taste at all excluding berries and tuna, the only thing i’ve actually enjoyed are the day lilies
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
with all the mixing, the duckweed i set out to dry is still moist, i’ll put the duckweed in the fridge and see what it’s like in the morning
