dandelions and cattails

[skeeter@ccia.com]

since it is close to spring and the season for the lions, cattails I figured I would add something here.

A good place to pick dandelions is in a park, They mow grass there but never spray weed killer on anything. This is where I pick the blossoms for the wine and is some good wine too.
Only the young shoots in the center of the cattail is what I use. Tug on it and it will slip out. I dice the white part of the shoot and add to salad or just munch as it....taste like cucumber.
