    One of the best meals I have ever had was homemade pasta with ramps, morels, fresh broccolini from my garden, and of course some grated Parmesan. It was so simple but so perfect!

    I like to make simple syrup from the violets because the pigments in them are a beautiful deep purple that turn a hot magenta when you add any acid like lemon. Fun party trick for home cocktails or soda water

    I was inspired by a recent video of yours to grow black chickpeas. I didn't think the yield would make them worth it, but you two are very discerning about the staples you plant. So I'm excited for any amount of chickpeas I'll be able to harvest. Also, iirc you mentioned during the living off the land challenge that you haven't found a 1:1 substitute for AP flour in pasta. Chickpea flour may be it- you can use it totally in place of AP flour, not just partly like chestnut flour. It takes remarkably like regular pasta, but with added protein. Though you may need more freshly dried chickpeas than is practical to grow. Also, I didn't think of adding mustard flowers or forget-me-nots to pasta, or that there's still hope for me to find morels, so this is encouraging. Glad that Jordan is feeling better enough to do what he loves again!

    A couple years ago I found what I'm certain now was bear corn. I couldn't identify back then, likely because it is definitely outside it's normal range here in the Black Hills of South Dakota, plus I found it in a ponderosa pine forest, not the normal habitat. I should have contacted the Forest Service here given how rare it's supposed to be here. Glad to see you both getting some fresh air and time in the woods!

    When you guys popped up on a short oh geese like 2 or 3 years ago especially during the pandemic times I found your insightfulness on gardening and home grown veggies to be truly profound. You also are not posers and are constantly foraging which is a huge plus in my book! I also find that I am considering putting in serious effort to start in the fall. I am the only one in my family with a good gardening thumb for about 8 years now and want to expand, on some crops what would you start out with. I am not looking for anyone else opinions on this matter just from @HomeGrown_HandGathered thanks for your time.
