Today was a lot easier because my mom was home. She helped me out with meals and meal ideas. I am actually FULL right now, and I ate really good food!
In the morning I worked on my flour supply by threshing and grinding up dock seeds and lamb's quarter seeds. I added red clover flowers and some dried service berries. I already had a healthy supply of cattail root flour that I prepared a week ago. In the afternoon I picked two bags of wild apples, and I am very excited about making dried apples and applesauce.
This is what I ate:
Breakfast:
Fried bass fillets with roasted dandelion root tea
Lunch:
Flour biscuit / pancake with the flour that I made earlier. I ate this with a little wild plum jam. The first pancake I made had a combination of all the flours and it was really good. The second one I made with just cattail flour and service berries. This one was a bit too rich and I couldn't eat it all. I liked the first one better so I think I'll make it for breakfast tomorrow.
Dinner:
I made chicken soup with sea salt, wild onion bulbs and flowers, wild turnips, wild carrots, stinging nettle, mustard greens, bull kelp and oregano. I am hoping that this will keep me going for a couple of days.
Dessert:
Applesauce, made from the apples I got earlier, with huckleberries and service berries.
It is inspirational that you have chosen to do this! I'm looking forward to reading about what you find to eat this month, as everything is dying back and preparing for winter. It seems you are including stored items- huckleberries, june berries, kelp. Did you harvest the sea items on the coast?
ReplyDeleteYes, I harvested the kelp and also sea salt on the coast.
