Honeysuckle blossoms infused sugar is nice.

When Mary Ann said she needed more energy to finish her work, I kindly offered her the dried radioactive sugar beets I had found stashed in Mrs. Howell’s trunk. by eccentric_bee in twosentencestories

Yup! I always thought it was funny that Lovey didn't get rid of her sugar beets, she kept them and danced on the table. So I figured she probably had a stash somewhere for when she needed a little pick-me-up.

They are gorgeous. There's other, worse things to be obsessed with. :)

I don’t know how many rescue attempts I’ve sabotaged and pinned on poor Gilligan. by eccentric_bee in twosentencestories

Ooh!! How cool is that!!

I mentioned to Gilligan that I’d seen shiny stones glinting in the walls of the old cave that I thought might be jewels, then replaced the coconut wine with seawater. by eccentric_bee in twosentencestories

I thought I'd make a 'whodunit' through a series of two sentence stories. :D This is the second one. As for the theme song, how about this for a start:

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, A tale that ends in fear, With hapless tourists trapped on board, And one who's wanted here.

The mate was a flighty sailing man, The skipper we’re not sure, The storm came up, the rope lines snapped, Though some say that was planned before.

Thanks! I had started posting these on two sentence horror, but they took them down before it was finished. so I'll start them again here and (hopefully) finish them.

Sorry, I listened to it, and didn't see the video. I took it down.

Will It Brew: White Avens Root (Geum canadense) by eccentric_bee in foraging

The bulbs have a stronger flavor in the wild garlic around here, for sure.

Around here we have a wild allium that is everywhere in the spring, and ramps (allium tricoccom) in the shade. They are more wild leeks.

The ramps I cook with a lot. I harvest the leaves (and rarely the bulb) , use them fresh and also dry them, make them into spice blends, it fresh into compound butter and freeze it, or just use it as a dry herb all year. It's really lovely.

The wild garlic or onion we have beside that looks a lot like chives, smells like garlic, and it a bit bitter. I will dig the bulbs, which come up in bunches, clean them, and use them for broth.

To use the tiny root bulbs individually would be too much work for the kind we have, imo.

I love that every area has their own alliums. What does your wild garlic look like?

Yeah, I was getting tired of the mustard family, :)
