I made a decoction! Ginger isn't usually hardy enough to grow where I live (PNW) so I used storebought. I've been making ginger teas like this for years but I never realized it was a decoction, so I really enjoyed this experience.

i found a cute new button for a pair of pants i’ve resized and am customizing!

This made me realize that I had forgotten to harvest the buttons off of an old, stained dress shirt that my partner didn’t want to wear anymore, which had been languishing in the rag heap.

this gave me the motivation to work on a chore i’m always procrastinating: darning my partner’s socks!

hi y'all! this is my first submission; Mike Miner was kind enough to point me in the right direction for this BB.
I harvested about a pound and a half (72, the limit) purple varnish clams, then cleaned them and made them into a chowder!

hi y'all! this is my first submission and i submitted it to the oddball badge because i didn’t see anything specifically pertaining to shellfish harvesting in any of the other badge categories. If there’s another more appropriate thread i could post this please let me know!
Total time: 2 hours (45 minutes digging, 1 hour cleaning, 15 minutes cooking).

favorite: morels!
my favorite that i can actually usually find: nettles, mostly to dry and for tea (in my heart i don't think they're terribly delicious cooked fresh but if anyone has any suggestions for making them more tasty/less like hairy tough spinach please let me know!!)
