kombucha

feeds@yuku.com (Haines) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 08:04:19 GMT

I have been drinking kombucha for some time now, partly because I enjoy the taste and also because I find it filling and believe there to be abundant health benefits to consuming probiotics (i.e., living, beneficial bacteria). For those that don't know, kombucha is a fermented tea that is produced by adding a starter colony of bacteria and yeast (which are mixed together in a gelatinous mat called a "mushroom" or "scoby") to a container of tea (along with sugar to...

Need source of split oak basket slats

feeds@yuku.com (nobocan) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:21:52 GMT

Hi;

First timer here.. I recently came into possession of an old Trappers basket made with what I believe to be split oak slats. They are 1 and a quarter inches wide and less than an 1/8th of an inch thick and about 45 inches long.

The Basket's bottom is in pretty sad shape and I thought I might try to either rebuild the basket or build a new one from scratch. But first I need a source to go to for the slats themselves...

Thanks

some unknown plants, can you help ?

feeds@yuku.com (stikchik) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:20:18 GMT

. Hey all, Blacktail and I have a few questions. We were out and about in the woods today, here in Central Oregon, and came across a few different plants we were not sure what they were or if they could be used as anything?
The first was a bush that was not full, it was about knee to waste high, had white berries. The pictures shows the leaves, the bark, and the general look. It was growing near a creek (in areas where willow grows)

Going crazy identifying lettuces/thistles

feeds@yuku.com (urbanwoodsman) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:24:03 GMT

I cannot for the life of me figure out what lettuce (or even if it is a lettuce and not a sow thistle) grows around where I am right now. I thought it was wild lettuce which I would welcome because that's actually what I'm looking for, but the USDA Plants database says that there are only a few states that have this plant and they are nowhere New York. This leads me to believe that the plant can't be a wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) then. What DOESN'T help my situation is...

Don't forget the pumpkin seed

feeds@yuku.com (MountainWalker) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:38:47 GMT

Although not really a foraging food I thought it would be appropriate to mention pumpkin seeds since tomorrow is Halloween. After you seed the pumpkin take the seeds. Wash them. Spread them out on a cookie sheet. Lightly sprinkle with seasoning. Place in oven and bake. Yum!!! I had a few handfuls last night.

A few Texas plants

feeds@yuku.com (Paleo Hayduke) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:23:02 GMT

Was walking through a field today and decided to take a few photos to post on here.

These are either some form of wild carrot or parsley. You can eat it.

These pretty plants with yellow flowers are called broom weed. Don't eat it.
