New England Foraging Adventure – Part III

May 9, 2012 Erica M. Davis 3 Comments

Might think about trimming this chickweed better.

If I don’t get the rest of this New England story out soon I’ll be permanently stopped up in the blog-hole, though perhaps it’s something a large dose of chickweed (Stellaria sp.) could solve. I already wrote about chickweed in Part I of this series, I know, but I just read an … [Read more...]

A handful of smooth New Hampshire fiddleheads--but they're NOT edible ostrich ferns.

One of the things I noticed about foraging in New England that does not present a problem here at 11,000 feet in the Colorado High Country is the seeming ever-presence of poison ivy (Toxicondendron radicans). One morning, overjoyed to find false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum sp.) … [Read more...]

Two Variations on Marinated Dandelion Salad

September 27, 2010 Erica M. Davis 2 Comments

Marinated dandelion salad option 2 involves French dressing.

Not to go overboard on the fall dandelions or anything, but last night’s fresh marinated dandelion salads came out so good and were so fast and easy to make that I figured I’d write up a short post about them. The recipes start out the same and then it is simply a matter of … [Read more...]
