Description
Tell me about your local library or history resource! Round 1: Kelsey Creek Farm - sheep shearing, farm life and animal care https://bellevuewa.gov/city-government/departments/parks/community-centers/kelsey-creek-farm/visiting-the-farm Looking for a great Spring Dish - that's mostly greens and herbs... with just aenough egg to hold it all together? Kuku Sabzi: http://persianfoodtours.com/kuku-sabzi-persian-herb-frittata/ (you can sub dried cranberries – as lightly sweetened as you can find them or unsweetened – for the barberries if you can’t find those.) Look - Americans don't forage. Or we don't forage much. Or we pay for other people to forage. Why have we lost to knack of it? Well, we've been working to make foraging weird or only for profit, and no longer for fun - for centuries as this point. Anyway - look up local foraging books AT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY! or follow @BlackForager on the Insta and join your local mushroom club. And send me your questions for the end of season question show!
