Foraging idea #7 : Lambs quarter

Cleaned out the front plot today and had enough Lambs Quarter to use for dinner. I call it more by its German translated name white goose foot.

Tonight, I sautéed it with onions and added a sweeter spin to it by adding Gran berries and walnuts. 😋

Has anyone of you ever heard of drinking pickle juice as a sports drink ? Apparently it has everything or much of what your body/muscles need to function. I used to have a lot of calf cramps in my younger days and started drinking pickle juice, haven’t had cramps for a loooong time.

Why not grow something like kiwi on it ?!

Problems truly multiply when dealing with people with anxiety and depression and having to take their emotional abuse, I know, I’ve been there, especially when this certain someone is not taking any medication for it. Maybe there’s a chance your daughter will consider doing something to help stabilize her moods so that a better communication can be established, even if it is on a natural basis.

Hen has some really good advice to look into.

I’ll pray for your strength and that your needs be meet and everything to fall in place. 🙏

Just picked up a coal BBQ a couple of days ago and had it for baking bread in mind. Now I definitely need to get a pizza griddle.

Foraging tip #6, Garlic Mustard

in combination with stinging nettle. Chopped, sautéed with onions and garlic and rounded off with nutmeg.

Hi and welcome

Thanks

[Summerhat-n-Chicks]

Wow, you think you have somewhat a recipe of it ?

As far as I know, the native variety only has stingers at the bottom of the leave, the European has them on top as well as on the bottom.

Nettle is an anti-inflammatory, blood cleansing and more and used for all sort of stuff from joint pain, anemia, allergies, headache and much more.

I often use it when I’m soar at the end of a day from working in the garden in teas as a basis with other herbs like knotweed or peppermint depending on how I feel.

Generally you would use one good teaspoon of dried nettle to a regular size mug. Depending on your mixture and #of herbs, you can adjust the amount. Steep for about half a minute and sip. I usually leave the steeper in much longer, still taste great.

Nice, is it the native version ? I have the European nettle. Love all the aspects of Nettle, from fertilizer to medical tea. Don’t need comfrey when you have nettles. 👍

[Summerhat-n-Chicks]

Yes, took me a while to get the right flavor for my taste buds.

Omg, I’m so there with you. Love all the old crafts and would love to have a loom.

Ok, I can see it when I’m on my phone, but not on the PC. I don’t make purchases via my phone.
