I have three very favorite treats during the Christmas / New Year's holiday season. They are Russian teacakes (shown in the pic), English toffee, and Fantasy Fudge!
Look at these lovely orchids! The trick to getting them to keep reblooming is pouring water from a fish tank water change on them whenever they need a drink!
My kids foraged some chanterelles this week and they brought them over tonight. We made beef stroganoff with the freshly picked Chanterelles! It was my first time eating wild Chanterelles!
I think Oregon Grape could be considered a shrub so I'm posting this here....
I gathered some of the root and make bitters for cocktails. Very unique tasting.....
