Planning Ahead


Day Lilies, Water

It's snowing, we're holed up inside in the dead of winter, and I am thinking thoughts of summer. I've signed MK and I up for Earth Trek, where we get to be Citizen Scientists! Or something resembling brainy people. Mostly we're going to roam around looking for garlic mustard, an invasive xeno species that some people want to get rid of and others want to eat. I'm in the latter group...the plant is quite delicious when sauteed, braised, or even lightly grilled with meat.
This should be fun! Plus, I get to do science! And eat!

Thanks, droll and phoen! It really is tasty! I just hope that teams of exterminators don't parachute in and napalm the clutches of it that we find ;)
