One of the healthiest ways to eat

is to harvest wild greens:

On Orcas,

I had an abundance of Nettles and dandelions

In Sonoma,

pigweed and mallow where in glory

Coming to Austin,

things have been slim

except that one garden plot at the Sunset Valley Community Garden

was full of my old friend:

pigweed,

aka,

wild amaranth

Imagine my surprise and delight to discover a magazine

called Edible Austin

in the summer issue of which

had a full page spread on the glories

of eating wild amaranth;'

Here's the link: Eat Wild

And here's the glorious "weed" itself.

Mix in some soaked sunflower,

pumpkin,

almond,

flax seeds

and a little Celtic salt,

and sweetener:

honey, fruit, stevia, agave

and you have a high powered,

super nutritious feast in your hand,

soon to be in and nourishing

your body
