what did you do this week to prepare

[gryffynklm]

Cleared some brush and put up some fire wood. Organizing food storage this weekend.

Yesterday I finally did something I wanted to do for a long time. I took a 4 hr foraging tour in Central Park with "Wildman" Steve Brill.
Awesome and amazing. Had absolutely no idea how much there is to consume in Central Park and we've barely scratched the surface.
I know I'll be taking this tour throughout the year because of different growing seasons and simply because there's just so much to learn and remember.
Steve is also an excellent vegan cook (wrote a cookbook) and has recipes for practically everything we found.
I'll post a few things I've learned in the Wild Edibles section.

Way to go, BENESSE! That's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

I'm looking forward to your Wild Edibles posts.

Finished remodelling the vegetable garden and got some canning jars for a good price at a charity shop.

I do envy you getting to take a tour with the Wild Man. That would be a great experience. Good for you. I'm glad you got to go!!

That sounds like a great time. I look forward to hearing what you learned.

Way to go B! Must have been a great experience.

I am totally psyched!
Steve conducts these tours year-round even in December,
so I'll be really eager to learn what one can find in the park in the dead of winter.
Since I am vegetarian, Central Park and other surrounding parks open up all sorts of options.
If TSHTF, I might not need to kill any rats after all.

That just reminded me, of a friend I had years ago. I use to try to get her to have a BBQ(pulled pork sandwich) with me. I said that if I could get her to do that, I could do almost anything. She was a Jewish vegetarian. LOL

Come to think of it......she was a yankee. (Cherry Hill, N.J.)

She was a Jewish vegetarian.

So what does her being an animal doctor have anything to do with it?

(That was a 2dumb line.)

15 years ago I was a huge (no I wasn't fat) BBQ Connoisseur. (NC not Texas, btw. Clyde's in downtown Raleigh) Maybe as a last meal on death row I might just go for it again.

They named a restaurant after my dog?!?!?!?!

We called it Clyde's.
Worth visiting Raleigh just to eat there. It's the kind of place that in a weak moment I just might consider switching teams.

The next time I go to Raleigh, to a gun show, I might just have to check that out.

Raleigh is about a 2 hour and 15 minute ride, from here.
(OK...2 and a half, if you stop for coffee. LOL)

Passed through a few times on the way to Corolla.
That's a big town for that area.

Hey, we even have a super-wal-mart, now!

I normally spend more time in Va, than NC. I work up there. (Norfolk, Va. beach, etc.)

Can you see through the haze of pollen, today?

2dumb2kwit--Really! The yellow haze has arrived. Well, thankfully I think it's gone for the year. I need to hose my house off!

That's one thing about living around here that I could do without!
