Damn good idea, just did.

Not jealous of his mothers worry though. (I'm a mom of 3 boys...)

Ah, gotcha. Too bad! If it were better maintained, it could probably be a nice source for you.

What about throwing a bird net over a bush or two right before the berries are getting ready to ripen? Might keep the birds of it for just long enough that you can come back and harvest.

It really was a good read. PLUS, this whole week has been about big subs.

Even the raspberries you get from the store probably had bird shit and spiders on them at one point. They just got washed off without you knowing about it.

Totally forgot about /r/foraging! I'm adding that sub to the list above.

Even in the desert like myself, there are still SO many things to forage!

  • Mesquite beans can be ground to a delicious powder, and used as a gluten-free flour, or as a seasoning to get that great mesquite flavor. The pods can also be used in place of wood chips in a smoker.
  • Prickly Pear (Nopales) - both the fruit & pads are edible, you just have to watch out for prickles.
  • Palo Verde - The seeds are edible, and absolute sweet and delicious! Eat them when they are fresh and green, I eat them raw, though you can staem them if you want. Eat it like edamame.
  • Desert Ironwood - The dried pods can be eated, though I like sprouting them, then roasting them with some garlic.

A great link for desert foraging.

Seriously. My local kroger has beans in 2 aisles. They are HALF the price in the ethnic aisle. I call it the white tax.

Let's elaborate on this one...what is your favorite crockpot meal?

Mine is this Pulled Pork, or at least a variation of it. Buy the butt when it's dirt cheap, of course.

Smoking things other than cigarettes? by soadtoolin stopsmoking

Mullien is wonderful for those wanting to quit. It also has the added benefit of helping your lungs clear. Plus, it is literally a weed, and pretty much grows everywhere.

Wonderful! Thanks for that!

I do the same thing. First night is whole chicken, either beer can or just oven roasted. I then remove ALL the meat from the bone, and store the bones in the freezer to make stock. A single carcass of just bones with veggie ends will usually produce enough stock to make 2 meals of soup. The leftover meat usually goes to make chicken salad, or chicken fried rice.

So, 1 chicken=3-4 meals.

True, but some of us have actually grown up.

Never Buy Yogurt Again! by oopsifellin fromscratch

I've used my crockpot, I'll have it on high until it comes to about 120F, then I unplug it and wrap it up in a warming blanket and a towel. I let it sit on the countertop overnight.

I'm not even sure how he's going to get a mattress in that thing, looks great though!

I've found that as long as your neighbors are cool with it, it's not usually a problem. You never know, bribing people with eggs works pretty well!

Affordable 50cc scooters? by J_Justicein scooters

Thanks for the input. Neither my husband or myself are mechanically inclined, at least as far as engines or motors go. I'm just looking for something that can get me to work and back daily, which is 8 miles round trip, mostly residential roads. I don't want to be constantly putting money in to the thing though.

At least you can make a mini-omelet.
