It's so hot outside that I'm looking to make cold dishes whenever possible. The kids really enjoyed this smoothie with foraged lambs quarter, foraged mulberries, orange juice, pumpkin seeds, and frozen strawberries. The straw is glass.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Prepare a dish (soup, salad, entree, side, etc.) that uses at least a cup of one of:
- lambs quarter

To document your completion of the BB, provide the following:
 - A picture of one of the plants in the wild
 - A picture of obviously more than a cup of foraged ingredients (or pic of the ingredients in a measuring cup)
 - A picture of the finished dish
 - A description of what the dish is

Clarifications:
 - This is "Foraging" so the plants can not be cultivated by you.

I found lambs quarter during my hike on Friday. I made egg in a basket with lambs quarter sandwiched in between the bread. Bread, an egg, lambs quarter, butter, salt, and pepper. I buttered the pan, cut a hole in the bread, put both bread pieces in the pan, cracked an egg into the bread hole, sprinkled salt and pepper to taste - then flipped the bread over when the egg is 50% cooked. yum!

I foraged watercress from a local stream and made an Asian noodle soup with it.
