I harvested watercress and made an "egg in a blanket" topped with watercress. I cut a hole in bread, put it on a skillet, crack an egg in the hole, when the egg is finished cooking, I add watercress on top. Tasty!

I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!

I foraged dandelion leaves and added them to a salad. Since only my 1/2 cup measure was clean, I used it twice for measuring the greens. The salad also included lettuce, croutons, and a creamy vinaigrette.
