Yo...I know what you mean about time going so fast! You've inspired me, my Mom had macugen, the slang word for it and here sight went so fast before the end. I know she would have gagged at the thought of eating this humble weed, but you can dehydrate them or air dry them, store them in a food saver bag until ready and then mortar and pestle them for your smoothies too! I really need to get better at foraging! I did pretty good this summer however, but I sure wish I had some now! Thank goodness for Vitamineral Greens!yardsnackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834902581595053812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206140233961986985.post-23681251636528539142008-11-11T20:10:00.000-07:002008-11-11T20:10:00.000-07:00That was a nice post Annie.

And what a funny world it is that we would find this common weed is so good for us.<BR/><BR/>RG: We was them in soapy water with a drop or two of chlorox. And we have no dogs in the back yard.<BR/><BR/>For everyone else, you can go the boiled greens route, or the sandwich route, but you might find them a little bitter, or a little stringy. It is better to learn about green smoothies, which sound scary, but are really pretty good.<BR/><BR/>When we went to Lake Powell this fall we had a great talk with a guy I only know as Martin. He has been a vegan for 40 years, is in his early 60's, but looks maybe like mid-late 40's. He told us some of the virtues of smoothies. One of the things that made a lot of sense to me was that he said human teeth just don't chew raw vegetables fine enough to get all the nutrition out of them. And our intestinal tract isn't the best for that either. But if you blend them, or vita-mix them, you are down close to the cellular level, and you get the benefit. A very interesting guy.Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921177435940480006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206140233961986985.post-88863786483114574362008-11-11T15:06:00.000-07:002008-11-11T15:06:00.000-07:00Call me silly (and I'm sure this won't surprise yo...Call me silly (and I'm sure this won't surprise you), but I'm afraid to eat dandelions from my yard because I'm afraid that some animal has pottied on them and I couldn't wash them enough. True story!<BR/><BR/>I like the idea that you're growing them inside- less likely to have that problem, especially since you don't have pets. tee hee. <BR/><BR/>PS- you've made a footprint on my heart too. xoxoRisibleGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346813156794934802noreply@blogger.com
