Pharmacognosy and Magical Thinking

May 10, 2019

There’s a long ongoing debate about the state of healthcare in these United States of America. I’m not going to hold forth on it for long, but there are some things I think could stand to be repeated and emphasized in the hopes they might sink into the minds of the general population. Is American… Read More Pharmacognosy and Magical Thinking

Wild, Safe, non-Organic Greens

April 17, 2019

So I hang out in several online groups intended to help people learn to identify plants. Some of those are tilted toward identification and determination of edibility. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time lurking (and occasionally offering an ID) it’s that people ought to be dead, a lot. Misidentification of wild edible… Read More Wild, Safe, non-Organic Greens

Wildcraft: Waiting on Spring

March 20, 2019
wild edible plant

  Here in Southern Ohio the green things are beginning to burgeon. Trees are blooming, birds are singing… wild things are still thin on the ground if you are hungry, however. The early spring greens I talked about last week are definitely here. Now is the time to start watching for teasel leaves peeping through… Read More Wildcraft: Waiting on Spring

Wildcrafting: Early Spring Greens

March 13, 2019

I don’t know about you, but after a long few months of winter blahs, the first bright greens of spring are a welcome sight. Being able to eat them is just the cherry on top of this particular salad. You can’t, of course, eat every green thing in sight, but you might be surprised what… Read More Wildcrafting: Early Spring Greens

Wildcraft: A Practiced Eye

March 6, 2019

I wanted to do a series of posts on Wildcrafting, foraging, whatever you want to call it: the art of finding wild edibles and how to safely consume them without harming yourself or the environment. The presentation I gave on it at LTUE was very well received – they were turning people away at the door… Read More Wildcraft: A Practiced Eye

Forager’s Resources

August 19, 2018

Yesterday was the second of my guided forage walks at Longmeadow Farm in Lebanon Ohio, hosted by Queen of Tarts bakery. We’ll be doing the final one in September, so if you’re interested, reach out to Sydney at 513-435-3002 to reserve a spot – for $15 you get coffee and a breakfast pastry before the… Read More Forager’s Resources

Eat This While You Read That: Michael Z Williamson

August 5, 2015
foraged meal

This week’s ETWYRT is a little different. It was, for one thing, a meal that had me doing much more contemplation than usual before I embarked on it. When I asked MadMike for a dish, I knew he was busy and wouldn’t send a recipe, except… he did. And an unspoken challenge. He knows me… Read More Eat This While You Read That: Michael Z Williamson

Proof of our Resolve
4 of 5 stars
Proof of our Resolve
by Chris Hernandez
Don't come to Proof of our Resolve expecting a novel. It reads like a military memoir, and given Hernandez' background, I expect that in some ways it is. This is a fiction book, and it hasn't got a plot. Well, not really. It is a linear ...

Webster's English-Spanish Dictionary, Grades 6 - 12: Classic Reference Library
by American Education Publishing
Look, this book didn't have the words for bug, insect, farm, or goat. I was expecting a little more from it. Like more words! If you're only working on the basics, it's ok. Anything more advanced, forget this.

Impossible Odds
by Jenna Vincent
A pair of impossibly good short stories. Short stories, unlike a novel, are like priming a pump. There’s a story arc there, and it takes place within the pages of the book, but there is so much more that leaves your mind racing with que...
