What's for dinner?

sautéed dandelion greens and some other dish(s) still tbd.
well does everyone know that dandelion greens are on the bitter side? they are. nonetheless, i think there must be a recipe that uses the bitter in a better way than what i made tonight. i found the recipe online. it was not bad, but it made me think “this could have been much better”. as for other dishes. i only had one which was cold silken tofu with scallions sprinkled on top and some ponzu. i had half a granny smith apple for dessert.

It has been a while but I have eaten dandelion greens. Green vegetables are some of those that I like a bit, all the greens both store bought and picked along growing wild: turnip, collar, mustard, spinach, pokeweed which does need to be prepared right to avoid poisoning yourself. LOL

Yeah I'd love to wander through a meadow picking greens like those and going home to make dinner. Have you actually done that? Also picking dandelions ...to make wine of course. Wish I could...

.....the bitter comes through regardless of the recipes I have found. They are especially good to eat in the spring according to Ayurveda and it's practice of adjusting diet to the seasons for health. There's dandelions here to pick. There's another plant here that looks exactly like the dandelion, it has a different number of flowers so you have to pay attention......
The tofu sounds delicious.

I do, do that regularly, picking green and berries and such. It is amazing how much you will find growing wild. Never made wine though.

Today was meat loaf with rice.
