Wild Foods with Dinner & SUNSHINE

Baby poke salad shoots and daylily buds tempura with dinner

We had blue skies today — at least between the clouds. And SUNSHINE! I didn’t mind being outside in the steamy weather today. The sunshine felt SO good! The deluge came around 5:30, but I didn’t care…. I had seen and felt the sun!

Edible daylily buds

While I was out I noticed that both our fig trees promise a bumper crop. That’s great because I have almost used all the figs I dried last year. I love putting them, along with dehydrated orange peel, in my oatmeal in the mornings.

I also found some baby poke salad plants and some daylily buds. High on sunshine, I picked some to cook with dinner this evening.

This evening’s dinner was a country boy special just for Ron…. cubed steak, mashed potatoes and gravy. I’ll be eating a lot of rabbit food to make up for that! 😀

I had so much fun playing outside today that I didn’t get started on the curtains. I can do that when it’s raining!
