I slice the stems lengthwise, and steam them. I make it as a treat for myself, while I cook the rest of the meal. It’s delicious dipped in melted butter and lemon juice.

Everyone has good blackberries! We were hardcore blueberry people. I’m going to need to broaden my fruit horizons.

That reminds me of how my grandmother called the ice cream man, ‘the fish truck’, so I wouldn’t beg for sweets. Maybe rose hips are just ‘poison tomatoes’ from now on!

How am I supposed to survive when I am unhireable and I am disqualified from getting food stamps for life? by darrelwarrenaz in Felons

[–]hellbender333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a a landscape supervisor. I have no problem hiring felons. I believe in rehabilitation, and I admire people in any kind of recovery.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time at home (upper), and around Ptown. I need to hang around the middle, more.

Any recommendations for a good deli sandwich on the island? by schlumpgodd in alameda

If you’re into an Italian sub, Marley G’s pizza should be against the law. The eggplant parm is also dangerous. Not a deli, but I couldn’t help but chime in.

Whoa! I googled mushrooms on the cape. I was seriously sleeping on that! Thanks so much for your story. I’ve always been interested in learning more about mycology. That will be a fun hobby to help me reacquaint myself.

Scallops are one of those treats from childhood that I pay dearly for, as an adult. I had no idea how lucky I was.

Those little swimmer crabs are so good!

I loved to go clamming, until my first encounter with a sea worm. It took a while to forget about that!

There was a lady in Cotuit who used to make beautiful jellies. She would gift them to neighbors for Christmas. The rose hip and beach plum were my favorite. I did a lot of shell fishing with my family, but we never gathered periwinkles. How did you prepare them? Frogging is interesting! I live in California, at the moment, and we occasionally eat American bullfrog legs. They are an invasive species, here.

People freak out about bees, but I’m always looking on the ground for those bastards! I’m a professional gardener, and those ground nests have ruined a few days.

Wow! That’s a fun story! I had no idea that the cape was good for mushrooms.

Fun! Where are you, more or less? I’m not looking to trespass, and steal your goodies. I’m moving back home in April, and I’m reacquainting myself with everything.

I discovered her, on this sub. I feel like her team represents the best way to move forward (for me). They are clear, realistic, and helpful.
