Just rescued the last leaves off my solitary basil plant. And yes there were just enough to make a batch of pesto for a last taste of summer. Not enough to freeze. Will keep the blanching tips in mind for next year:)

Congratulations, Faith, on a successful hatching. How delightful to have fuzzy little ducklings waddling around.

Oh what fun! We got a few ducks at the Vermont Bird Fanciers swap Memorial Day weekend. We’ve been having a great time with them! Maybe next year we’ll have them sit on eggs!

Very much so and I’ve found them on about 5 other trees since… lot of them too tough, but I’ve been frying the tender parts up with lots of onions and butter and putting them on my Maple Oatmeal Bread toasted… YUM.

The tougher but still slicable ones I’ve fried up and blended to make mushroom broth for mushroom barley soup (Moosewood cookbook).

THANK YOU!!! I was walking home from dropping off the car at the garage (Way2Go Week, didn’t want to have someone come to drive me) and guess what I found?!?

4 lb 2 oz of Pheasant Backs!!!! I was thinking about taking a walk in my woods to look for some, but since there are a lot of dead trees along my walk I was looking for them and morels. And there they were on a dying tree on the side of the road, with their watermelon rind smell and everything.

Thanks for the very good description and the link to the website. I’d read it all over carefully a couple days ago, so I KNEW they were edible. I can’t tell you how many times I walk by some huge bloom of some mushroom and wonder, am I passing by dinner?
