At different times I'm called upon the speech at different groups. In this particular case, I was given the opportunity to speak at Unity of Blue Water in Port Huron Michigan last year in 2023. I'm sharing that speech here in hopes that you will find joy in it.

Let's make our own Half Moon Dumplings. Not exactly like Ukrainian vareniki, but still yummy.

Eclipses are not everyday events. In fact, the next one won't happen again for another half lifetime. Let's make a time capsule for this one.

One of my fondest memories is sharing vanilla wafers with my dad. On a rainy day I want to make vanilla wafers and share some memories with you. And also warm up the house a bit. This recipe comes from a 1939 recipe by Sara Hentz. The cookbook was "The Household Searchlight Recipe Book". Enjoy.

This is the time of year when we look at garden catalogs and we decide what we're going to plant. Well sweet greens are preferable to many pallets I find that a little bit of bitterness adds value to flavor. I'm also including my kitchen pepper remedy in this episode. But because I know some of you aren't always near a pen I'm going to write it here in the description. One part dehydrated sorrel, one part dehydrated catmint, and three parts lime pepper. See you in the episode.

Maintaining your garden apron's appearance, durability, and suitability for purpose isn't hard. It can be simple, really. Let's have a chat about how to keep it in great shape.

Wanna eat like me? I mean, like when I'm eating my quirky kitchen concoctions? Here's an episode of some of my recent combinations. Enjoy.

It's supposed to be spring here in michigan. The equinox is already happened. But as we know, Michigan doesn't care and there's a blanket of snow everywhere. Right now the dandelions are sleeping and waiting to wake up. Let's talk about how we're going to eat them. Hahaha. Also, enjoy my very strange and unusual offering about how to make a green, dandelion-based, kind of rumaki.

You've probably heard of Queen Anne's lace. But have you ever heard of the plant called Queen's Delight? This plant, stillingia sylvatica, has folklore about love and syphilis. Wow, what a combination right? It also has pretty yellow flowers and alleged health remedies associated with it. It may be blooming right now. Let's chat about it.

Right about now cleaver should be popping up all over the place, near you, in their customary areas. Also known as goose grass, and other names, this plant is good for chasing out Waters in The body. However, there's some caveats to that. Never forget, though, the Cobra chickens are everywhere. The Canadian Goose requires constant vigilance if you're "out and about". Love to my Maple Leaf Friends.
